Patriots Practice Observations: A.J. Derby, Martellus Bennett Standing Out
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Bill Belichick wasn’t lying when he said the Patriots have their deepest group of tight ends since the head coach came to New England in 2000. Rob Gronkowski continues to dominate training camp, despite some issues with drops, and Martellus Bennett has shown smooth route running and soft hands this summer. Bennett caught three passes during 11-on-11s Monday. A.J. Derby, who was selected in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft but was placed on injured reserve early last August, has stood out in three straight practices now. He caught two passes, including a contested grab over safety Patrick Chung on Monday. Derby could have an uphill battle to crack the 53-man roster over veteran Clay Harbor, who returned
Patriots Practice Observations: Tom Brady Perfect In Full-Team Scrimmage
Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Jimmy Garoppolo beat Tom Brady in a post-practice competition on Thursday. Brady got his revenge Friday in a full-team scrimmage, however. Brady was a perfect 25-of-25 passing in Team Blue’s 17-9 victory over Team White. Garoppolo was just 18 of 33 with an interception. Brady was fired up throughout the scrimmage, chirping at Team White and showing his typical passion during Team Blue celebrations. Brady also beat Garoppolo by throwing a football into a barrel first after practice. Garoppolo matched Brady on the next throw and won Thursday. It will be fun to keep track of their post-practice challenges. Here are some other notes from the scrimmage: — Cornerback Malcolm Butler deflected two passes from Garoppolo in the end zone during the
