FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Onlookers at New England Patriots mandatory minicamp Tuesday didn't even have to open their eyes to confirm quarterback Tom Brady's presence. All they had to do was listen.
Brady's booming voice, and ultra-vocal approach, helped raised the intensity level as he returned to the team after staying away for seven weeks of voluntary workouts.
"It's always loud with 12 out here," receiver Julian Edelman remarked. "He's an intimidating SOB."
Those in neighboring towns Tuesday might have heard Brady after two long pass attempts to wide receiver Kenny Britt, both up the left sideline.
