FOXBOROUGH — As JuJu Smith-Schuster reeled in a top-tapping catch in the end zone, Mac Jones — finger pointed in the air — rushed in to celebrate with his new wide receiver.
Their revelry included a celebratory dance, a gesture that Smith-Schuster hopes becomes routine during the 2023 season.
“Honestly, Mac pulls up, we just make up new dances as we go,” Smith-Schuster said following Wednesday’s practice. “And that was just one of many.”
Both Jones and Smith-Schuster had plenty to celebrate on Wednesday.
For the first time during Patriots training camp, Jones and the Patriots’ offense delivered a definitive knockout punch against the team’s defensive personnel, with Bill O’Brien’s revamped system leading to a varied aerial attack during a competitive, padded practice.
