The Patriots closed out their final mandatory minicamp practice of the offseason on Wednesday, holding a final full-squad session that lasted roughly 90 minutes in the fields behind Gillette Stadium.
With New England and the rest of the NFL set to take an extended break until the start of training camp in late July, Wednesday stood as a chance for several key players to end this first leg of preseason work on a high note.
Here are some takeaways from Wednesday’s practice:
1. Defense shines once again
Drake Maye and Ja’Lynn Polk ended practice on a high note with an impressive, last-second touchdown.
