The New England Patriots begin training camp with their first practice of the summer. The focus is on players vying for roster spots, particularly those who may surprise during the competitive sessions. Coach Mike Vrabel anticipates discovering under-the-radar players excelling once contact drills begin. Efton Chism III, standout slot receiver, aims to rise on the depth chart. OL Caedan Wallace seeks a starting role amidst new additions, while OL Jack Conley, known for his size and versatility, may contribute significantly in various positions along the offensive line.
"I look forward to the first day of pads where there's somebody that we really never saw, we never really talked about, that once the pads go on and they start to play football, they just have a contact balance... That happens every year in training camp," head coach Mike Vrabel said.
"Chism was a tough cover this spring leading all receivers with 15 catches in competitive team periods in the five open sessions to the media."
"With a question mark still at left guard, it was notable to see Wallace repping along the inside of the backup line to conclude the spring."
"Conley looks the part at 6-foot-7, 333 pounds but, you don't always know where to find him as he brings versatility at both tackle and guard spots."
