1. **Maye’s Mates:** After selecting quarterback Drake Maye with the 3rd overall pick in the NFL draft, the New England Patriots aimed to draft receivers who could grow alongside him. Ja’Lynn Polk (2nd round, No. 37) from Washington and Javon Baker (4th round, No. 110) from UCF were signed to four-year contracts. This move highlights the team’s focus on developing chemistry between Maye and his new receivers, which was evident in their extended practice sessions after voluntary organized team activities.

2. **Dungy at Practice:** Former NFL head coach and current NBC analyst Tony Dungy visited Patriots practice, addressing the team and offering valuable insights. Head coach Jerod Mayo values different perspectives, and Dungy’s visit underscores this approach. Dungy also has a strong connection with Matthew Slater, contributing to team cohesion.

3. **High Attendance:** Mayo expressed satisfaction with the overall attendance at voluntary organized team activities. Notable absences included Matthew Judon and Davon Godchaux, who are expected to report in shape for training camp.

4. **Maye’s Admirer:** Former NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst Matt Hasselbeck compared Maye to Justin Herbert, praising his potential and personality. Hasselbeck believes Maye’s athleticism and demeanor will translate well to the NFL.

5. **Brady Night:** The Patriots will induct Tom Brady into their Hall of Fame on June 12 in a sold-out ceremony at Gillette Stadium. Former players, including Deion Branch, look forward to celebrating Brady’s accomplishments and the camaraderie among teammates.

6. **JuJu’s Return:** Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, entering his second season with the Patriots, expressed confidence after recovering from a knee injury. He aims to compete for a roster spot and feels he is in top form.

7. **Okorafor’s Introduction:** Chukwuma Okorafor, a free agent signee and potential left tackle, addressed the media for the first time since joining the team. He acknowledged the challenge of filling the left tackle position but expressed confidence in his ability to adjust.

8. **Mafi at Center:** Atonio Mafi, a 2023 fifth-round pick, took snaps at center behind starter David Andrews during organized team activities. Mafi’s versatility, transitioning from defensive line to offensive line, is a positive development under new line coaches Scott Peters and Robert Kugler.

 

9. **Dugger’s Distraction:** Safety Kyle Dugger, after signing a lucrative contract extension, admitted to the challenges of compartmentalizing his contract status while focusing on his on-field performance. He views the contract extension as a relief and a recognition of his hard work.

10. **Season Opener:** The Patriots will open the 2024 season against the Cincinnati Bengals, marking the fourth time in franchise history they will face Cincinnati in a season opener.

These notes provide insight into the Patriots’ offseason activities, player developments, and preparations for the upcoming season.
