Wearing red non-contact jerseys, the New England Patriots’ quarterbacks are easy to spot at practice. It gets a bit trickier for Malik Cunningham, an undrafted rookie who spent his entire college career at Louisville as a passer.
Through four open practices so far this offseason — three organized team activities and the first session of mandatory minicamp — Cunningham was exclusively in the white jersey reserved for non-quarterbacks on offense. Wearing No. 64, he is running routes and trying to get up to speed a position that he has never played before.
Nonetheless, he is up to the challenge.
