Day 2 of Patriots training camp is in the books.
The second day of New England’s preseason practices offered some different standouts than Day 1 did. Here are eight takeaways from the Patriots’ second summer practice.
Defense wins the day.
Day 1 of training camp was the Mac Jones and DeVante Parker show. The second-year quarterback went 13-for-16, connecting with his new receiver for three touchdowns as part of 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills in the red zone area.
Jones and the rest of the Patriots unit were humbled a bit on Thursday. The defense fared better than they did on Wednesday in the first few 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 sessions before dominating the 11-on-11 session that ended practice.
