FOXBOROUGH - A new era for the Patriots took another big step on Saturday as head coach Jerod Mayo and a collection of the team's rookies took to the Gillette Stadium practice fields for the first on-field media access of the 2024 season.
When fireworks went off above Gillette Stadium as the team was stretching, they weren't for a Patriots touchdown but they might as well have been to announce the new beginning that was taking place on the practice fields instead of Bridgewater State University's graduation.
