On-field progress throughout training camp is important for really any player on the New England Patriots, but especially so for the team’s rookies.
And so far, Jalen Mills, who has looked like the Patriots top cornerback in the preseason, has been impressed with the development of both Marcus Jones and Jack Jones.
The two garnered praised from Mills not just for what they’ve been able to accomplish during joint practices against the Carolina Panthers this week, but for what they’ve done behind the scenes to put themselves in a position to succeed.
“Those guys have been locked in in the meeting rooms, asking a lot of questions and that’s what you want to see from young guys,” Mills told reporters following practice Wednesday, as seen on video from Patriots.
