Patriots training camp preview: Milton Williams ready to handle largest workload of career
Briefly

New England Patriots rookies reported to training camp at Gillette Stadium, with veterans coming soon. The team's first practice is on July 23. The defensive line includes strong players like Christian Barmore, Milton Williams, and Khyiris Tonga. Barmore's return and Williams's signing enhance the team’s pass-rushing capabilities. Khyiris Tonga serves as a run defender, having limited snap experience. The Patriots selected Joshua Farmer in the fourth round, who shows promise as a pass rusher. Returning players Jeremiah Pharms and Jaquelin Roy provide additional depth for the line.
