New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo admitted to being impressed by two players in particular during organized team activities.
One of those players is second-year defensive end Keion White, and the other is special teams veteran standout Brenden Schooler. Keep in mind, the Patriots are still early in the process. They haven’t even practiced with pads yet.
But Mayo has seen clear instances of growth from both players.
That’s a major positive for a Patriots team hoping to turn things around in 2024. The defensive unit took a massive hit when Matthew Judon went down with a season-ending biceps injury last season.
