#Patriots OLB Anfernee Jennings has been discussed around the league as a possible trade candidate, per @RapSheet.
Rapoport notes that teams in need of depth could be in the market for the former starter turned backup.
#Patriots WRs coach Todd Downing on rookie WR Efton Chism:
“Efton Chism’s in here at 6am every single morning, and I’m sitting there with a cup of coffee waiting on him. If he’s not there at 6, I’m worried about him.“
The Chizzler’s time will come.
#Patriots RBs coach Tony Dews on rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson:
“When I talk to Josh [McDaniels] and just ask about the guys here in the past… he’s very much on par with what some of the other guys that played early as rookies… He’s continuing to get better.”
#Patriots WR DeMario Douglas on QB Drake Maye’s improvement:
“I wouldn’t say it’s surprising because I always seen his potential… It’s a blessing to have him on this team. When he got that confidence, man, nobody can stop him. His feet, his arm, it’s different.”

Stefon Diggs on the #Patriots’ young WRs:
“They’re hungry… Efton got a little taste last week, and we were all excited for him, even Kyle… I know nobody wanted that go-ball more than Kyle. We’ve been itching for it all year long… Those guys are grinding. They want success.”
The #Patriots have spoken to teams about pass rushers ahead of the trade deadline, per @DMRussini.
Additionally, Russini says that New England has been fielding calls on some of their own players.
Things could unfold much differently than people expect…
This Drake Maye graphic 😮💨
The #Patriots finally have a face of the franchise!

Kayshon Boutte on #Patriots WRs coach Todd Downing:
"Great wide receiver coach. I would say probably the best one I’ve had up to this point… He do a tremendous job of keeping us honest with ourself everyday.”
Boutte emphasized that Downing’s taught him a lot about work ethic.
