The New England Patriots have commenced their 2024 training camp under new head coach Jerod Mayo, marking a significant shift after Bill Belichick's 24-year tenure. Key storylines include the development of rookie quarterback Drake Maye and the performance of the offensive line, which remains a critical area of concern. The Patriots' defense is expected to be strong, but questions surround their ability to improve on last season's four-win record. Wide receivers Ja’Lynn Polk and Kayshon Boutte are also players to watch, alongside other rookies who could impact the team's success. The competition for the starting quarterback role between Maye and veteran Jacoby Brissett is particularly notable and will be a focal point throughout the camp.
