Players to Watch During Patriots Training Camp

Training camp is where first impressions start to turn into real expectations, and a few key Patriots will be under the spotlight during camp. At the top of the list is quarterback Drake Maye, as he continues to grow in his second year. All eyes will be on how he leads the offense, builds chemistry with new weapons, sharpens his accuracy, and cuts down on turnovers, key areas of focus heading into 2025.

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs also comes into camp with something to prove. He’s coming off an injury, so this is his time to show he’s healthy and ready to be a top target. How he clicks with Maye and settles into his role in the offense will be telling. On the other side of the ball, Keion White is a name to keep an eye on. With a blend of strength, speed, and versatility, he has a real shot to break out and become a major factor on defense.

Drake Maye

For quarterback Drake Maye, training camp is a chance to prove he’s ready to take command of the Patriots offense. After gaining valuable experience as a rookie, Maye now needs to show progress in key areas, starting with how he leads the huddle and sets the tone on the field. Accuracy, especially on deep throws, is still questionable, and his decision-making and ball security will be under close watch following a rookie season with too many turnovers. Camp will give fans a good sense of whether he’s ready to lead his team forward.

If you're betting on a big leap, we’ve rounded up the best Drake Maye fantasy football names to match the hype.

Stefon Diggs

For Stefon Diggs, training camp marks an important step in his return from the torn ACL he suffered in October while with Houston. It’ll be the first real look at how far he’s come and whether he can move without limitations. One of the biggest questions is whether he still has the burst and stamina in his route running to be a go-to playmaker.

This is also a chance to see if Diggs is building chemistry with Maye. It’ll be worth watching how comfortable he looks in the offense and whether he’s starting to take on more of a leadership role.

Keion White

Expectations are rising for defensive end Keion White, who has the talent to take a big step forward in his third season. He’s shown strong potential, especially against the run, but this year it’s about putting it all together with more consistency. One thing to watch in camp is whether he’s developed as a pass rusher. It could be a difference-maker if he’s added new moves or sharpened his technique. White’s athleticism and versatility give the Patriots an edge on defense, and if he’s fully locked in, he has a shot at a real breakout season.
