Regardless of who’s around Maye, it’s clear the expectations have been ratcheted up, from a performance and leadership perspective.

New England Patriots rookies and veterans will soon report back to Gillette Stadium to kick off training camp. For the now Mike Vrabel-led Patriots, their first practice of the summer is scheduled for Wednesday, July 23 at 10:30 a.m. ET.

As noted by Peyton Doyle of MassLive, second-year New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye recently invited multiple teammates to workouts held in Maye's hometown near Charlotte as he and other players prepare to report for training camp on Tuesday, July 22.
