I don’t have BSJ access, but Bedard wrote a column yesterday with assessments on the Patriots younger guys:
Bedard's Breakdown: With more run in the season finale, an update on where Patriots youngsters stand for 2021 | Boston Sports Journal
Like I said, I don’t have access and so haven’t read it, but NESN published a few interesting (from a disappointing perspective) nuggets here:
Chase Winovich's 'Mouth' Reportedly Has Patriots Concerned - NESN.com
NFL Rumors: Patriots' View Of Anfernee Jennings After Rookie Season Is Not Great - NESN.com
Key quotes on Chase:
On Jennings:
edit: Asiasi is part of the “down” group, to no surprise, while they’re still bullish on Keene.

Key quotes on Chase:
Had a monster game against the Jets, which we also saw earlier in the season. In between? Just a sub-rusher role. Why? Because he can’t be counted on a down-to-down basis to Do His Job on the edge, and I’m not sure the team will ever trust him to do that — he’s almost certain to have competition at the position next year. There’s also the issue of his mouth, which is a concern internally because he rarely thinks he’s wrong and is a bit of a locker room lawyer (sounds like someone around here who writes about football). I’ve floated moving him to (inside linebacker) but that has been shot down because if of the lack of faith he will consistently do the correct things within the scheme.
On Jennings:
Hope he’s got bad sources, particularly on Chase, because he clearly has the talent to be an impact guy.“(Jennings’) stock plummeted this season because he can’t run and made countless mental mistakes,” Bedard wrote. “Right now, he’s only a reserve and there’s not much enthusiasm beyond that. If that’s true, a failed pick because the Patriots could have selected offense here.”
