"Patriots West" has begun in earnest.
ESPN's Mark Sanchez reported last week that backup New England quarterback Jarrett Stidham would lead a series of workouts with Patriots pass-catchers in Orange County, California.
Stidham confirmed that report Monday by posting a video and photos from the sessions on Instagram:
The first two pass-catchers you see in the video are new Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne and new tight end Hunter Henry, who both signed hefty contracts with New England in free agency.
