The Patriots are set to officially begin training camp this week, with rookies already reporting as of this past weekend. It is expected that there will be even more eyes on this year's summer practices than in the past, thanks to Mike Vrabel and the massively improved roster.
Aside from watching the progress of second-year quarterback Drake Maye, there is a special excitement surrounding Stefon Diggs, as the receiver was unexpectedly signed in free agency to become the quarterback's top wide receiver. There was an initial mixed reaction to the signing, as he had torn his ACL just eight months prior.
