Patriots Coaches Praise Receiver On Roster Bubble In Behind-The-Scenes Video
New England Patriots offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and offensive assistant Ben McAdoo seem to be a fan of wide receiver Jalen Reagor.
The Patriots on Sunday posted a behind-the-scenes video to their official social media account. Inthe video, Van Pelt and McAdoo were captured having a mic'd-up conversation and praised Reagor, who entered camp on the roster bubble given the depth at the position.
The conversation between Van Pelt and McAdoo took place last Tuesday after an impressive play during a competitive 1-on-1 period. Reagor beat depth cornerback Mikey Victor down the sideline and hauled in a throw from quarterback Bailey Zappe.
You can watch it here:
"Way to go get it!" Van Pelt shouted.
"He's talented," McAdoo replied.
Van Pelt added: "He is. Very talented. Havin' a good camp."
Reagor, as Van Pelt said, has had an impressive start to training camp. And while Reagor remains behind roster locks DeMario Douglas, Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker, his play this summer -- and his potential on special teams -- makes it fair to believe Reagor will have a spot on New England's initial 53-man roster.
The behind-the-scenes praises from his coaches don't hurt either.
