One New England Patriots assistant coach may be on the rise heading into the season. Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith had praise for assistant coach Nick Caley on Friday afternoon.
Caley has been around the Patriots organization for several years, beginning his time with New England in 2015 as an offensive assistant. He received a promotion to tight ends coach in 2017.
He will have a chance to work with Hunter Henry and Smith among others. Smith in particular is looking to bounce back after a difficult 2021 season.
Smith met with the media after Friday’s practice, and was complementary of Caley’s potential.
