The first practice sessions at the Shrine Bowl are in the books on the UNLV campus in Las Vegas.
With the East team kicking things off on Saturday morning, the Patriots coaching staff led the West team in a one-hour and 45-minute practice where head coach Bill Belichick and new offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien were heavily involved.
"They're super intense, but they're super helpful. They're just trying to get us the information we need on each play," UCLA quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson told reporters after practice.
