FOXBORO —  Quarterback play will look different for the Patriots this season.

That was the top takeaway from the second and final day of Patriots rookie minicamp, which was the first practice of the spring open to reporters.

The ball simply comes out of the hands of rookie quarterbacks Drake Maye and Joe Milton III differently than it has from any of the QBs in the Patriots’ post-Tom Brady era.

There were 39 total players on the field for the Patriots and as many or more coaches and personnel evaluators on the field. The session was just under one hour in length, unpadded and not fully competitive.

The Patriots held individual drills early in practice before fractioning off into offense and defense. There were light speed 7-on-7 drills to finish out the practice before sprinting up the practice field hill.

This was the first rookie minicamp practice open to the media in recent history. The sessions were closed to reporters under former head coach Bill Belichick but have been reopened with Jerod Mayo taking over.
