The bleachers were so packed with fans to watch the Super Bowl LI-defending Patriots that the team had to open the Gillette Stadium ramps for standing room. Quarterback Tom Brady received the loudest chants and cheers when he ran onto the practice field with his TB12 hat. Here’s our full list of observations from practice. — Brady performed better in team drills than Jimmy Garoppolo, which is expected,
