Patriots Share Photos Of Mac Jones, Cam Newton And All The New Players At OTAs
BOSTON (CBS) -- The Patriots are busy this week, with seemingly most of the team in Foxboro for organized team activities. The OTA sessions are not mandatory, and Patriots players released a statement earlier this offseason in solidarity with many other teams about "many" players not attending. But based on the photos shared by the team, the Patriots appear to have something resembling a full house this week.
The team shared photos through its official website on Monday. Based on those photos, the attendance of these players can be confirmed:

As is tradition with the #Patriots, the rookies will wear numbers in the 50s until the first preseason game. Here's Mac Jones in #50 as the top pick in the class. pic.twitter.com/9wJkavt2g3

Patriots fans also got an early look at tight end Hunter Henry and wide receivers Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor in Patriots gear, as well as Ja'Whaun Bentley in his new No. 8,.
Head coach Bill Belichick was also, of course, in attendance. Josh Uche shared a photo of Belichick delivering some hands-on coaching:
The Patriots are holding three OTA sessions this week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday), three sessions next week, and four sessions the following week. That will lead in to mandatory minicamp from June 15-17.
