The New England Patriots made some major investments along their defensive front seven this offseason, but the signing of Raekwon McMillan flew under the radar a bit compared to some other high-profile additions. Based on his performance so far in training camp it probably shouldn’t have.
McMillan saw prominent action over his first four camp practices as a Patriot, playing an active role at the inside linebacker position. Along the way, he appears to have made a prominent fan: Bill Belichick.
Speaking to reporters on Monday morning, the Patriots’ head coach praised McMillan for his work so far.
