Patriots fans turned out in force for their first summer practice, where Coach Vrabel praised the knowledgeable crowd and the action-packed, padless drills. Key players like Gabe Jacas (who signed his rookie deal on the field) and Terrell Jennings (on the non-football injury list) were absent, while Jeremiah Franklin made a late but impactful debut. Quarterback Drake Maye shone with six of nine completions, even recovering from a dropped snap to deliver a clean pass. Slot receivers DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism III lit up the field, with Douglas reenacting a touchdown from OTAs. The offensive line remains unchanged, and star CB Christian Gonzalez practiced with the starters despite contract negotiations — proving he’s a top-tier talent ready for a big payday.
