When the New England Patriots held their first open organized team activity of the spring last Wednesday, Jalen Mills and Malik Cunningham lined up in somewhat unfamiliar spots.
Mills, who has seen a clear majority of his snaps at outside cornerback in his previous two seasons with the team, practiced alongside the safety group. The undrafted rookie Cunningham, meanwhile, did not wear the traditional red jersey reserved for quarterbacks — his college position at Louisville — but instead was used as a wide receiver.
Whether or not those two will stick with their new positions remains to be seen.
