For the first time since early January, the New England Patriots wore full pads again on Monday. Their fifth training camp session on the grounds behind Gillette Stadium naturally saw an uptick in physicality, as well as a focus on areas so far not part of the preparation such as run drills and goal-line work.
While the session was not the most attractive one as far as all-encompassing action is concerned, there were some performances that did catch our eye.
RB Kevin Harris: With Rhamondre Stevenson spending the day working out on the lower field, and with Ty Montgomery still absent, the Patriots gave their second-year running backs more opportunities.
