Bruschi continues to welcome Maroney to the NFL

Day 2
Posted by: Albert Breer
A few nuggets from the morning session on Day 2 of training camp, with blue skies overhead and temperatures soaring at the upper practice field off Gillette Stadium:
– The highlight of practice came from first-round pick Laurence Maroney. Known for his ability to cut on a dime and burst forward as a Minnesota Golden Gopher, Maroney put that skill on display on a stretch play during a full-squad scrimmage. Maroney took the handoff from Tom Brady left, headed for the edge, found a seam, cut back and exploded through the first two levels of the defense and into the open field. The play elicited the biggest pop of the morning from the crowd and showed a little of why New England was so willing to spend the 21st overall pick on Maroney.
– That said, Maroney took lumps again and, again, they came courtesy of Tedy Bruschi. For the second straight day, Bruschi filled on Maroney and let loose a hard shoulder right into Maroney for the day’s hardest hit. After practice, Maroney joked that Bruschi’s got it out for him.

Welcome to the NFL, Maroney! And keep up the good work.
