The two rookies are showing an early chemistry as the offseason progresses.
The New England Patriots went through a major coaching change in the offseason after management decided to part ways with NFL legend Bill Belichick and hire rookie head coach Jerod Mayo. With the coaching change came a change in personnel and players. Two of the new additions were first-rounder and former North Carolina Tarheel and seventh-round former Florida State tight end Jaheim Bell.
Bell spent one season with the Seminoles after transferring from the South Carolina Gamecocks in 2023 as the No. 1 transfer tight end and No. 8 player overall in the NCAA Transfer Portal. He showcased his skills as a gadget player in 2023 participating in 13 games with nine starts. He recorded 39 receptions for 503 yards and two touchdowns and gained two yards and one touchdown on four rush attempts, earning second-team All-ACC honors.
The Patriots are concluding their Organized Team Activities and heading into a mandatory minicamp on June 11, as the offseason intensifies for rookie players competing for a spot in the rotation.Tommy Mire joined NoleGameday in 2023 as a writer and editor.
