Patriots Training Camp Day 2

@MikeReiss: Bill Belichick said WR Aaron Dobson came into spring in "great" shape. "Put himself in good position." #Patriots

@DougKyedNESN: Belichick on rookies training specifically for the combine: "I think that's a huge mistake those players make."

@DougKyedNESN: Belichick calls Jordan Richards smart and instinctive. Says he picks things up quickly.

@cpriceNFL: No pads, but players are in numbers.

Excellent news on Aaron Dobson if he contines to improve he could be a Beast! outside the numbers.

@MikeReiss: Moments after sending out that tweet, Jake Bequette makes play of day so far -- TD catch in back right corner of end zone from Tom Brady.

TE3 because we can't cut him right.

Jake Bequette - The best player to never play a meaningful snap in patriots history.

That's because he's never played TE until now. Gronk v2.

Not to be facetious, but how funny would it be if he actually does make the roster at TE?

@PatriotsHaven: Malcolm Butler just had a nice break up in coverage vs Aaron Dobson. The defensive players watching loved it. A lot of energy from them.

Becoming the next Hooman is only a marginal upgrade, but at least it would be an upgrade.

@PatriotsExtra: Defense is 100% outplaying the offense right now in the red zone. Darryl Roberts, Bradley Fletcher look great

@PatriotsExtra: Butler makes great play, salutes to crowd, and Belichick screams "THERE WE GO"

This is excellent. I was slightly concerned that they may have lost some of that when Browner left.

@PatriotsHaven: Not sure how much stock to put into it, but (edge) Trey Flowers & LB James Morris getting some quality reps with perceived front 7 starters.

Can anyone report Bequettes quickness and his route running.
Could you imagine if he made meaningful plays at tight end!
He must be the nicest guy or hardest worker to stay on the roster this long when we've seen guys like Buchanon who I was high on get the axe before the immortal Bequette.
He is creeping towards dare I say it Adam Seward legendary status.

Roberts has to make this team guessing who he pushes off the roster will be tough wouldn't be surprised to have him play safety as well as cornerback to take a roster spot from your Wilson,Harmon,Ebners.

The stock to take there would be one or both are starting slow between Mayo and Hightower.

Jordan Richards blanketed Gronk on an INC in the end zone. Second time in two days the rookie has stuck out.

I'm not defending the pick in ANY way but it would be funny if he ended up being a good player.

Darkhorse to start?

Man, if Richards' athleticism can match his intelligence he will wind up a great pick.
