Patriots' practice runs smoothly with three quarterbacks splitting repetitions

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- One of the hot-button topics for the New England Patriots since Deflategate began 494 days ago is how the team handles its quarterback repetitions in practice.

So that was a big part of what I watched during Thursday's organized team activities, and they were divided as one would expect, with Tom Brady mostly leading the way, followed by Jimmy Garoppolo and then rookie Jacoby Brissett. Each received an equal amount of work, which I'd sum up this way: When you have three quarterbacks who can rip it, a "passing camp" type of practice (players are in shorts and no pads) usually goes pretty smoothly.
