Here are the seven biggest takeaways from the New England Patriots' third OTAs practice open to media members.

The Patriots second-year quarterback had more downs than ups in two open practices. In the first open OTA session, Maye threw four interceptions before settling down. That day was surprising because the young quarterback threw only three turnovers in five open practices last offseason as a rookie.

The Patriots had a special guest at their organized team activities (OTAs) last week, as Julian Edelman stopped by Foxborough to check in on Mike Vrabel and a revamped New England roster.

One former first round pick in offensive lineman Cole Strange is struggling to find his position with the New England Patriots this offseason.

Under Mike Vrabel, the team has revamped the linebacker room in Foxborough with lighter and quicker players. Those new additions include Robert Spillane and Jack Gibbens. The Patriots also have Christian Elliss, Monty Rice (who played for Vrabel in Tennessee), and undrafted free agents Elijah Ponder and Cam Riley.
