Although we did not get to see the players do much more than stretch, we still have some thoughts about the class and which players we believe will worth keeping an eye on. One word that stands out when describing this group is athleticism, and with that comes the excitement that goes with it. Read
With that in mind for this week’s Samsonite Make Your Case we’re trying to identify the rookie we’re most excited about watching play for New England this season. Read

PFW's Andy Hart says...
Josh Boyce

The possibilities of watching him run by defenders already has me excited just to watch training camp. The Patriots have had some wideouts who were billed as speedsters but I haven’t seen anyone who could match Bethel Johnson in that department. I can’t wait to watch Boyce and compare him to Johnson, who was the fastest Patriot I ever saw on the field. Boyce has that kind of big-play potential and the Patriots offense could really use it.

PFW's Paul Perillo says ...
Jamie Collins
The Patriots defense is in need of dynamic playmakers, and Collins is nothing if not dynamic. His speed, athleticism and versatility will be welcome on a unit that lacks a lot of those qualities. Read
Collins won’t likely start immediately but I expect him to contribute right away and by the end of the season he’ll be adding big plays to the mix. Collins is a rare athlete and adding those kinds of players on the edge of the defense is exciting. Read
Also, Bill Belichick hasn’t had a lot of players in that mold in recent years so imagining how the coach may choose to use Collins also is worth getting worked up about. I had a similar feeling last year with Chandler Jones and there were flashes of brilliance from the rookie. Collins is even faster and more explosive. This one could be a game-changer for the defense.
