Good news that I've been able to pick up from guys like @BigKen as well as other media outlets;
Trent Brown a 7th rounder originally selected by the 49ers is 6'-8" 380 lbs and has been a beast that likely wins the LT job replacing Solder. Short arms but quick and POWERFUL. NE traded their 2018 95th pick for Brown and SFs #143. He played RT in SF. Not sure why SF decided to let him go? Any 9er fans want to chime in?
Ryan Lewis at 6'-0" and 200 lbs is making a name for himself to possibly replace Malcolm Butler? Not too different as he was originally signed as an UDFA for AZ. They released him last year and NE placed him on their PS. The kid has been doing everything on the field from covering fast WOs running the post to shiftier guys like Edelman over the middle. literally blew up Tre Flowers in 1 on 1. Flowers has been very quiet and could find himself in a back up role if he doesn't do better.
Cordarelle Patterson likely sticks around as a returner and a WO he's been having a decent camp.
Duke Dawson NEs 2nd round pick out of Florida looks like he may find himself as the starting slot CB. This would be nice as BB hasn't been known for finding DBs in the draft.
Minus Patterson this is very typical of BB and his staff. Getting the most out of guys most hadn't ever heard of.
A little bad news;
Sony Mitchell left practice early the other day with a potential leg injury? Not much more info then that at this point.
Sorry the underlined part was a copy and paste that dealt with Brown and not Lewis.
