A.J. Brown on what excites him about playing with Drake Maye: "Everything... He can make any throw. He's very poised." "He took over [today's] meeting... It says so much." "That was impressive. I heard great things about him. That part alone tells me a lot about him."

A.J. Brown on where his #Patriots fandom came from: "The passion came from wanting to be like my big cousin. He was a big Patriots fan, and I wanted to be like him. As far as I can remember, I was a Patriots fan."

Mike Vrabel on what he's seen from Caleb Lomu so far: "He's been an unbelievably coachable player. He's young, he's big, he's athletic, and he's willing to learn." "I think he's gonna have the ability to play both sides."

Mike Vrabel shares thoughts on day three of the draft and if he regrets not being there: "No.. They moved around, they made some trades. This draft was pretty unique... The volume of players in the draft wasn't what it normally is. "Excited about the players that we got. Studied most of them."

Mike Vrabel breaking down the huddle here at #Patriots minicamp

“Always trying to be fluent out there and calm, collected…As long as I just play confident, play free. I know that's when I play my best ball and so that's always just how I've played from, you know, when I started playing football and that's how I'll keep playing coming into the NFL.”

“Any position that they need me at…I’m willing to play and would love to play…Just to get on the field and get some playing time, you know, that's a goal and whatever position that they need me to play to be able to get on the field and play, I'm willing to do.”

Caleb Lomu on playing Left or Right Tackle: “I just feel myself as a tackle on the left or right side…Either tackle position I'm happy to play and feel comfortable playing.”
