He tracked the ball well over his shoulder and beat CB Duke Dawson to the spot.&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Matt Dolloff,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/985thesportshub.com\/2019\/07\/31\/patriots-training-camp-day-6-an-eventful-day-for-rookie-receivers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">98.5 The Sports Hub<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; 7\/31\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Second-year cornerback Duke Dawson gave up a deep touchdown pass to undrafted rookie Ryan Davis in 1-on-1s. Dawson went for the interception but misplayed the ball as it arrives. Dawson finished strong, however, recording a pass-breakup in the final period.&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Kevin Duffy,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/2019\/07\/31\/patriots-training-camp-observations-secondary-smothers-wide-receivers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boston Herald<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; 7\/31\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Patriots cornerbacks won 10 of 19 1-on-1 drills over wide receivers. Meyers was the best wide receiver in the drill. Braxton Berrios also flashed with two catches. Undrafted rookie cornerback D\u2019Angelo Ross had two pass breakups. Second-year corners JC Jackson, Duke Dawson and Keion Crossen each had one pass breakup.&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Doug Kyed,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/2019\/08\/patriots-training-camp-observations-jakobi-meyers-ascends-nkeal-harry-shines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NESN<\/a>&#8211; 8\/01\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A pair of high draft picks were in the rotation on second-team defense. Defensive end Derek Rivers, a 2017 third-round pick, and cornerback Duke Dawson, a 2018 second-round pick, seem like they have yet prove themselves worth a roster spot.&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Henry McKenna,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/patriotswire.usatoday.com\/2019\/08\/01\/patriots-2019-training-camp-observations-day-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">USA TODAY<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; 8\/01\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Despite a big day for Meyers, CB Duke Dawson did get a hand in on a pass to him over the middle for a breakup. Dawson should be on everyone&#8217;s projected rosters, despite his slow build and the team&#8217;s depth at corner.&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Matt Dolloff,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/985thesportshub.com\/2019\/08\/01\/patriots-training-camp-day-7-nkeal-harry-jakobi-meyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">98.5 The Sports Hub<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; 8\/01\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Duke Dawson would&#8217;ve picked up a couple of penalties of his own, getting too handsy with Braxton Berrios and Ryan Davis. Dawson had a strong rep on Gunner Olszewski later in the drill, and though the rookie caught the pass, Dawson seemed to think there was a little offensive pass interference on the play. &#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Phil Perry,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/boston\/patriots\/postcard-patriots-training-camp-nkeal-harry-bounces-back-day-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NBC Sports Boston<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; 8\/01\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The one-on-one stuff would pretty easily earn him flags in a game situation. He hasn&#8217;t yet had a string of consistently positive plays. &#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Phil Perry,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/boston\/patriots\/postcard-patriots-training-camp-nkeal-harry-bounces-back-day-7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NBC Sports Boston<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; 8\/01\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Savage beat Duke Dawson for a touchdown to Chris Lacy.&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Greg Bedard,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonsportsjournal.com\/2019\/08\/05\/patriots-camp-report-08-05-19-jakobi-meyers-braxton-berrios-low-key-joint-session-lions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boston Sports Journal<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; 8\/05\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Like Jones, Dawson also seemed to have a tough day at the office as he allowed several receptions. Seems like he\u2019s losing a bit of confidence.&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Greg Bedard,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonsportsjournal.com\/2019\/08\/06\/patriots-camp-report-08-06-19-offense-struggles-rallies-late-competitive-practice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boston Sports Journal<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; 8\/06\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The best completion of the day in these drills was from Brady to Braxton Berrios. Brady lofted a deep ball near the corner of the end zone for Berrios, who adjusted to the ball as he tracked it through the air and bobbled it for a second before securing it as he slid to the turf. Berrios got half a step on Duke Dawson on the play.&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Matt Dolloff,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/985thesportshub.com\/2019\/08\/12\/patriots-training-camp-recap-isaiah-wynn-left-tackle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">98.5 The Sports Hub<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; 8\/12\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Duke Dawson looks to be splitting time between safety and cornerback.&#8221; &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Greg Bedard,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonsportsjournal.com\/2019\/08\/12\/patriots-camp-report-08-12-19-isaiah-wynn-takes-big-step-harry-lacosse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Boston Sports Journal<\/a>&nbsp;&#8211; 8\/12\/19<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The former second-round pick allowed four catches on the day.
