Demario Douglas has been the buzz of Patriots training camp, turning heads and running with the first team consistently even as a rookie.
Anyone eager to watch Douglas in game action will have to wait a while longer, though. The sixth-round pick saw hardly any time on the field in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Houston Texans, but that isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s a testament to what Douglas already showed in camp.
“We look at the whole body of work here. There are a lot of guys that didn’t get a whole lot of reps last night, and that’s because most of them got a lot of reps in the practice sessions,” Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Friday morning.
