Patriots Mailbag: Minicamp foreshadows a competitive training camp

Question on Jonnu Smith and the likelihood of his 2022 performance improving. Given two choices, which is more impactful to his poor year in 2021.

1. Inexperience in a new system and missing up-front OTA's etc. (this should be correctable).

2. Signed a big contract and bank account is fat, therefore lost the passion of football (more difficult to fix) -Kevin Westerlind

After seeing Jonnu at all four on-field sessions this spring, I have to say I'm optimistic about his outlook this season so put me firmly under the first one.
