Ward could have had disastrous implications for one of the best players in football at his position. \u00a0Watching Gronkowski get carted off that afternoon was a vision most fans would prefer to forget, and given the severity of the injury that was reported, it obviously generated a lot of questions. \u00a0Due to his size, any loss in his speed and quickness was a concern because those are attributes that have obviously\u00a0made him such a special player.<\/p>\n<p>But by mid-season the following year, Gronkowski looked better than ever and any doubt about his recovery has been completely wiped away at this point. \u00a0In fact, in some cases he even looks better than he did before he got hurt.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, there&#8217;s always someone\u00a0who seemingly beats the odds and that&#8217;s sort of what Foster seems to be up against. \u00a0Hopefully for his sake, he&#8217;s able to recover and he&#8217;s able to land a job with someone. \u00a0But for now, whether or not that involves the Patriots remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mitchell Skips Rookie Premiere to Study &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>Newly-drafted Malcolm Mitchell has been a fun story since he got drafted, and the more you hear about this kid, the more you can&#8217;t help but\u00a0like him.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s his book club where he encourages reading among young people, which has allowed him to get noticed by celebrities inspired by his story, or just the overall way he carries himself, so far he appears to be the consummate Patriot in the limited time that he&#8217;s been here.<\/p>\n<p>The Boston Globe&#8217;s Ben Volin revealed an interesting bit on Mitchell on Thursday as Mitchell apparently decided not to take part in the annual NFLPA Rookie Premiere due to other priorities.<\/p>\n<p>According to Volin, Mitchell <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BenVolin\/status\/733369170159665152\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>instead decided to spend his time\u00a0studying the playbook<\/strong><\/a>, which shows you he&#8217;s taking his new role with the team seriously. \u00a0Volin pointed out that the rookie&#8217;s decision made him only one out of 41 expected attendees who didn&#8217;t make it.<\/p>\n<p>Good for Mitchell to make that decision, and he&#8217;s a kid that already seems to have his head on straight. \u00a0Hopefully if things work out, all his efforts will translate into success on the field. \u00a0It\u00a0would be a nice change, since it&#8217;s\u00a0been a long time since the Patriots have had a draft pick make an immediate impact at receiver over a sustained period.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s certainly doing the right things. \u00a0Needless to say it will be fun to see how it plays out, and he&#8217;s obviously giving us plenty of reason to root for him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ninkovich a fan of Long so Far<\/strong> &#8211; With Chandler Jones no longer part of the team, Rob Ninkovich is without a player who had joined him as one of the Patriots most important pass-rushers.<\/p>\n<p>However, the addition of Chris Long gives the Patriots a player who can also provide a little help getting after the quarterback, and so far it sounds like he and Ninkovich are already working pretty well together. \u00a0Ninkovich said Thursday that he reached out to Long when the Patriots signed him and the two immediately bonded, which if all goes well will lead to success when they get together out on the field in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When he signed, I reached out to him and said, &#8216;Hey man, welcome.&#8217; Since then, we&#8217;ve kind of hit it off. He&#8217;s a great guy,&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/espn.go.com\/blog\/new-england-patriots\/post\/_\/id\/4793035\/rob-ninkovich-and-chris-long-become-fast-friends-with-patriots\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Ninkovich said via ESPN<\/strong><\/a>. &#8220;It&#8217;s fun when you can learn from other guys, other pros, and he&#8217;s been doing it a long time as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully they have a little fun harassing quarterbacks this season as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOCIAL POST OF THE DAY:<br \/>\nPatriots RB James White riding for &#8220;Best
