Stephon Gilmore has yet to take part in a practice since training camp opened, but he continues to find a way to make an impact.

The 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year has been actively involved with the Patriots this camp. That got him the nickname “Coach Steph” from New England cornerback coach Mike Pellegrino earlier this month.
