The rookies grab some grub. (Patriots Twitter feed)

While the veterans still have a few more days of summer vacation, the Patriots rookies reported Thursday morning to the Gillette Stadium facility, and a source indicated that every one of New England’s rookie class was in attendance. (This morning, the Patriots tweeted out the photo to the right of some of the rookies at the training table.)

The rookies have traditionally reported a few days early as the team hopes to get them acclimated as fast as possible before the before the veterans arrive and full-squad camp begins next week.
