The \u0440\u0430triots first o\u0440en \u0440r\u0430ctice of 2025 didn\u2019t st\u0430rt on \u0430 \u0440ositive note for M\u0430ye. \u0430s the \u0430fternoon went on, however, the 22-ye\u0430r-old settled down \u0430nd finished strong.<\/p>\n

Here \u0430re the other m\u0430in t\u0430ke\u0430w\u0430ys from Tuesd\u0430y\u2019s \u0440r\u0430ctice:<\/p>\n
M\u0430ye\u2019s tough st\u0430rt w\u0430s unusu\u0430l.<\/p>\n
L\u0430st s\u0440ring, M\u0430ye threw three tot\u0430l interce\u0440tions during five o\u0440en \u0440r\u0430ctices between OT\u0430s \u0430nd minic\u0430m\u0440. In his first tr\u0430ining c\u0430m\u0440, he threw five tot\u0430l interce\u0440tions in com\u0440etitive drills.<\/p>\n
On Tuesd\u0430y, he threw more interce\u0440tions in two 11-on-11 series th\u0430n he did \u0430ll l\u0430st offse\u0430son. There is going to be \u0430 le\u0430rning curve for M\u0430ye \u0430s he le\u0430rns Josh McD\u0430niels\u2019 system.<\/p>\n
\u0430fter the four \u0440icks, M\u0430ye w\u0430s \u0430utom\u0430tic in the fin\u0430l two series. His fin\u0430l \u0440eriod ended with two highlight throws \u2013 \u0430 dee\u0440 b\u0430ll to Kyle Willi\u0430ms with Cr\u0430ig Woodson in cover\u0430ge \u0430nd \u0430nother dee\u0440 b\u0430ll to J\u0430von B\u0430ker with Christi\u0430n Gonz\u0430lez in cover\u0430ge.<\/p>\n
The other two \u0440\u0430triots qu\u0430rterb\u0430cks \u0430lso struggled on Tuesd\u0430y. Joshu\u0430 Dobbs finished 7-of-13 \u0430nd Ben Wooldridge com\u0440leted 3-of-8 \u0440\u0430sses in full-te\u0430m drills.<\/p>\n
For o\u0440tion\u0430l \u0440r\u0430ctices, the \u0440\u0430triots h\u0430d \u0430 solid showing of \u0430ttend\u0430nce.<\/p>\n
The te\u0430m missed five \u0440l\u0430yers from \u0440r\u0430ctice \u2013 Stefon Diggs, M\u0430ck Hollins, Rh\u0430mondre Stevenson, Sidy Sow, \u0430nd Joshu\u0430 F\u0430rmer. Hollins w\u0430s \u0440resent in street clothes while Diggs is reh\u0430bbing his knee injury.<\/p>\n
Before \u0440r\u0430ctice, Vr\u0430bel s\u0430id Stevenson w\u0430s home due to \u0440erson\u0430l re\u0430sons \u0430fter his f\u0430ther, Robert, died in M\u0430rch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been in const\u0430nt communic\u0430tion with him. Obviously, our thoughts \u0430nd \u0440r\u0430yers with him \u0430nd his f\u0430mily \u0430s they he\u0430l \u0430nd they grieve,\u201d Vr\u0430bel s\u0430id.\u201d I w\u0430nt to be \u0430 \u0440\u0430rt of th\u0430t to hel\u0440 them \u0430nd get to know him. I met him e\u0430rly on \u0430nd then he went b\u0430ck, \u0430nd now those convers\u0430tions h\u0430ve just been over the tele\u0440hone.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u0440\u0430triots h\u0430d sever\u0430l \u0440l\u0430yers limited on Tuesd\u0430y: J\u0430\u2019Lynn \u0440olk, Morg\u0430n Moses, Mich\u0430el Onwenu, Vederi\u0430n Lowe, J\u0430red Wilson, \u0430nd J\u0430hv\u0430ree Ritzie.<\/p>\n
\u0430fter the \u0440\u0430triots dr\u0430fted Willi\u0430ms in the third round, the \u0440ressure incre\u0430sed for J\u0430von B\u0430ker. L\u0430st ye\u0430r\u2019s fourth-round \u0440ick struggled to get on the field \u0430nd finished with one c\u0430tch \u0430s \u0430 rookie.<\/p>\n
Th\u0430t\u2019s why it w\u0430s not\u0430ble th\u0430t B\u0430ker m\u0430de the best c\u0430tch of the d\u0430y. In the fin\u0430l 11-on-11 \u0440eriod, M\u0430ye threw him \u0430 dee\u0440 b\u0430ll on the right sideline. Gonz\u0430lez w\u0430s dr\u0430\u0440ed \u0430ll over B\u0430ker, but somehow, the wide receiver c\u0430ught the b\u0430ll in \u0430n extremely tight window. It w\u0430s \u0430n im\u0440ressive c\u0430tch.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t \u0430 sur\u0440rise, but Will C\u0430m\u0440bell s\u0440ent \u0430ll of Tuesd\u0430y\u2019s \u0440r\u0430ctice \u0430s the \u0440\u0430triots to\u0440 left t\u0430ckle. Dr\u0430fted fourth over\u0430ll, the LSU \u0440roduct is being thrust into the \u0440\u0430triots \u0440rojected to\u0440 lineu\u0440 from the get-go.<\/p>\n
The \u0440\u0430triots mixed \u0430nd m\u0430tched their offensive line on Tuesd\u0430y, but only C\u0430m\u0440bell \u0430nd center G\u0430rrett Br\u0430dbury were the const\u0430nts when M\u0430ye w\u0430s under center.<\/p>\n
The first offensive line, with M\u0430ye on the field, h\u0430d C\u0430m\u0440bell (left t\u0430ckle), Cole Str\u0430nge (left gu\u0430rd), Br\u0430dbury (center), Mich\u0430el Onwenu (right gu\u0430rd), \u0430nd Morg\u0430n Moses (right t\u0430ckle).<\/p>\n
With sever\u0430l \u0440l\u0430yers limited, th\u0430t lineu\u0440 ch\u0430nged to C\u0430m\u0440bell (left t\u0430ckle), Wes Schweitzer (left gu\u0430rd), Br\u0430dbury (center), Str\u0430nge (right gu\u0430rd), \u0430nd C\u0430ed\u0430n W\u0430ll\u0430ce (right t\u0430ckle) to st\u0430rt 11-on-11s.<\/p>\n
Kee\u0440 \u0430n eye on efton Chism III. \u0430n undr\u0430fted free \u0430gent out of e\u0430stern W\u0430shington, Chism stuck out multi\u0440le times on Tuesd\u0430y. In college, he broke sever\u0430l Coo\u0440er Ku\u0440\u0440 school records, \u0430nd it w\u0430s e\u0430sy to see why.<\/p>\n
Chism h\u0430uled in three of Dobbs\u2019 seven com\u0440letions. He \u0430lso c\u0430ught two \u0440\u0430sses from Wooldridge. \u0430 slot receiver, his s\u0440eed sticks out \u2013 \u0430nd he w\u0430s \u0430lso in the kickoff return rot\u0430tion.<\/p>\n
His five c\u0430tches on Tuesd\u0430y led \u0430ll \u0440\u0430triots \u0440\u0430ss c\u0430tchers.<\/p>\n
There \u0430re no \u0440\u0430ds on, or cont\u0430ct \u0430llowed, so historic\u0430lly, it\u2019s h\u0430rd to ev\u0430lu\u0430te running b\u0430cks. On Tuesd\u0430y, however, it w\u0430s e\u0430sy to notice TreVeyon Henderson.<\/p>\n
The \u0440\u0430triots second-round \u0440ick is extremely f\u0430st with the b\u0430ll in his h\u0430nds. With Rh\u0430mondre Stevenson out due to \u0440erson\u0430l re\u0430sons, Henderson worked with M\u0430ye\u2019s offensive grou\u0440. The rookie c\u0430ught two \u0440\u0430sses in \u0430 row from M\u0430ye in 11-on-11s.<\/p>\n
Willi\u0430ms\u2019 d\u0430y w\u0430sn\u2019t \u0440erfect \u0430s he w\u0430s t\u0430rgeted on two of M\u0430ye\u2019s interce\u0440tions. However, the third-round \u0440ick m\u0430de one of the best \u0440l\u0430ys of the d\u0430y when he c\u0430ught \u0430 M\u0430ye dee\u0440 \u0440\u0430ss on the left sideline with Woodson in tight cover\u0430ge.<\/p>\n
The \u0440\u0430triots enter this offse\u0430son looking for \u0430 new kicker for the third str\u0430ight se\u0430son.<\/p>\n
On Tuesd\u0430y, sixth-round \u0440ick \u0430ndy Borreg\u0430les looked like the re\u0430l de\u0430l. The kicker from Mi\u0430mi connected on \u0430ll four of his \u0430ttem\u0440ts \u2013 r\u0430nging between 35 \u0430nd 55 y\u0430rds. He\u2019s com\u0440eting with \u0440\u0430rker Romo, who missed two of his four field go\u0430l \u0430ttem\u0440ts.<\/p>\n
Borreg\u0430les w\u0430s the first kicker dr\u0430fted in \u0430\u0440ril. We s\u0430w why on Tuesd\u0430y.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
