Bill Belichick observing some team drills Thursday. He huddled at times with Matt Patricia and Ernie Adams, who it seems, hasn’t retired 100 percent just yet. #Patriots pic.twitter.com/qnSNLs2Mdy

Cam ??Nelson Agholor. Agholor looked good out there. Moves at a different speed compared to the other #Patriots WRs. Had the highlight of the day on a deep ball from Hoyer in 7s. pic.twitter.com/zaHv6eEQLJ
