FOXBOROUGH — When the pads get put on during training-camp practices, it’s expected for the physicality and competitiveness to ratchet up amongst teammates.
So does the trash-talk.
Wednesday’s physical session saw players on both sides of the ball exchange pleasantries during both 1v1 matchups and full-team drills.
After reeling in a contested catch over Christian Gonzalez, wide receiver DeVante Parker even shared a few words with Patriots cornerbacks coach Mike Pellegrino.
For Patriots defensive captain Ja’Whaun Bentley, trash talk is a welcome way to break up the dog days of an extended camp practice schedule.
