School is almost back in session. The New England Patriots are roughly one week out from the start of training camp with rookies slated to report on Friday, July 19, veterans reporting on July 23, and the first practice open to the public set for July 24. And then it’s a mad dash to the regular season.
This is a rather remarkable time in the franchise’s history. For the first time in over two decades, New England is entering training camp without Bill Belichick running the show. Now, Jerod Mayo has taken the reins as the organization’s newest head coach and he’ll look to get the arrow pointing back up in a positive trajectory after a 4-13 season. He’ll do that alongside No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye, who’ll be a fascinating camp storyline in his own right as the young quarterback pushes to start out of the gate.
No matter if it’s Maye or Jacoby Brissett who is under center when they kick off the year in Cincinnati on Sept. 8 these next few weeks and months are critical for New England to set a foundation to get the franchise back on track.
With that in mind, let’s get you up to date on everything you need to know surrounding the start of Patriots training camp.
