Patriots' biggest winners and losers from OTAs

Here were the biggest winners and losers from the New England Patriots' OTAs practices.

I was hoping to read Lan Larison on the winner list too.

I can't see Duggar going anywhere.

I think that may be why he's on that list. Maybe he's feeling a bit too comfortable.

We all have to remember that this is not BB's team anymore and Vrabel doesn't want anything to take away from what's he's trying to create. Stats don't lie.......Duggar is not average or above in pass coverage. No matter what we 'think'.

Duggar is not in the top 32. Jabril Peppers is #12

Am I wrong, didn't Duggar lead the team in tackles last year?

Becaus he's good in the box........and,
He's very good at tackling receivers in the open field after he lets them make a catch......

Every Safety and CB give up catches happens all the time. It's nice to know when that happens you have a guy that can actually wrap up and prevent that YAC

First reports from the first day of Mandatory OTAs in Foxborough say that the offense was extremely "crisp". Waiting for an "official" report to post.

Patriots Minicamp Notebook: Drake Maye among standout performers on Monday

The Patriots held their first day of mandatory minicamp Monday, June 9.

According to BST (Boston Sports Tonight) Gerald Callahan, Maye was sharp.

Kayshon Boutte was being given extra opportunities to use his 4.3 speed and catch balls. Kyle Williams subbed and caught a 35 yard pass and cruised into the end zone. Boutte retook the position and ran the high speed downfield route without results. Williams caught a second pass. Callahan said, "Read into it anyway you want. From my perspective, Boutte is being challenged to step out from the shadows." (paraphrased)

Very interesting coaching take. Undrafted free agent safety pushed an unnamed TE out of bounds on a pass play. There is a no contact rule in place. Instead of chewing his ass in front of 90 other guys, Vrabel immediately took him aside and spoke with him for about thirty second. Team and media were very impressed with this approach. By the way, UDFA safety's coverage from that point on was remarkable.

Drake Maye was 14/18 with 3 TDs. Red Zone offense wasn't great, especially "No Huddle". Great comment by Vrabel. "Our coaching staff will be looking at film and deciding where emphasis must be placed when camp opens next month." The Mini-Camp is being filmed and that says that players are being evaluated in non-contact sessions.

Final note. Vrabel was asked about the defense. "The front seven has to step up this year."

Wehr, 24...After earning first-team All-Big Sky honors at right tackle in 2023, the 6-foot-2, 298-pound Billings native earned first-team All-Big Sky honors at right guard in 2024.

That right there is impressive.

While I am moderately dissatisfied with this I am not overly surprised either. If I remember they said his strength was in the run game and his pass blocking need work. Maybe he's not putting in the work?

Yeah I was not sure the full extent of the injury and having little to no medical IQ I could not have known what he was going through. This being said his offseason should have been all about conditioning and there should be no issues with him. If there are then that assumes he may not be an NFL caliber starting G
