FOXBORO — CLNS Media’s Taylor Kyles and Mike Kadlick go LIVE right from Patriots training camp to recap Day 4 of practice.<\/p>\n
Demario Douglas has been sidelined due to a hand injury thus far during training camp, but plans to make a full recovery and be okay. In addition to injury updates from Douglas, the WR appeared motivated to prove doubters wrong after the Patriots WR’s were ranked as the worst in the NFL.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody right now,\u201d Douglas said. \u201cEverybody is stepping up. I can\u2019t point one person out. I feel like everybody is stepping up and playing different positions. \u2026 (The low rankings) motivated me, for sure, and I\u2019ve seen it motivate others too. I feel like if the younger guys feel that way, it\u2019s going to do nothing but motivate us too. It\u2019s going to be good,” said Demario Douglas according to NESN.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n The Patriots have faced tough criticism after a disappointing 2023 season. One bright spot for New England out of training camp is the growth of WR Javon Baker.<\/p>\n “Baker I think has just been the most dominant. Like we’re talking a guy who’s mossed defenders three different times, had some clear wins out here,” said Taylor Kyles on Patriots Daily.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Although the WR’s showed promise on Day 4 of Patriots training camp, the QB’s had a shaky day. Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye both had an up and down day.<\/p>\n Drake Maye’s accuracy has much improved and the arm strength has always been there. A couple of overthrows hindered his performance along with ball placement. There is lots of potential with Maye however, with some deep throws to young receivers standing out.<\/p>\n “[Maye’s] a very aggressive passer. I think if there were more downfield opportunities he would at least be trying them. But you also see in his college tape that he’s a pretty good decision maker, where if it’s not there he picks his spots pretty wisely and is okay going underneath if that’s what the defense gives him,” said Taylor Kyles.<\/p>\n Taylor Kyles and Mike Kadlick keep you up to date with the latest Patriots training camp news!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
