FOXBORO, Mass. — Malik Cunningham exclusively played quarterback at Louisville, and that’s his listed position on the New England Patriots’ official roster.
But when the Patriots took the field Wednesday for organized team activities, Cunningham spent more time with Kendrick Bourne, DeVante Parker and Tyquan Thornton than he did with Mac Jones, Bailey Zappe and Trace McSorley.
The undrafted rookie did not take a single rep behind center until after practice, when he stepped in at QB for a brief 11-on-11 drill with Patriots scout-teamers. He spent most of the morning catching passes rather than throwing them, at one point adjusting his body to make a nice grab over the middle on a throw from third-stringer McSorley.
