Five takeaways from first week of Patriots training camp

The New England Patriots opened their second week of training camp on Sunday, as first-year head coach Jerod Mayo is looking to cut down the roster ahead of the season. Here's a look back at what stood out after Week 1.

Friday was another day of shorts and shells, but the overall practice was more eventful on the playmaking side of things. Four rookies—Drake Maye, Joe Milton, Javon Baker and Ja’Lynn Polk—were responsible for the two best plays of the day.

Maye connected with Polk on a deep ball in 11-on-11s, while Milton completed a 60-plus-yard bomb to Baker.
