Almost exclusively relying on backup players and depth options, the New England Patriots lost their preseason finale in lopsided fashion on Thursday night. The New York Giants got the better of Mike Vrabel’s team to the tune of a 42-10 blowout defeat.
Here is who caught our eye for better or worse upon live viewing.
Winners
WR Jeremiah Webb: The undrafted wide receiver has been trending upwards lately in camp, and ended the preseason on a high note leading the team with three catches for 31 yards while hauling in New England’s long touchdown of the night. Webb also added a 22-yard punt return a week after breaking a long kick return. Webb, who has received positive remarks from Mike Vrabel this offseason, projects as a strong practice strong candidate ahead of NFL cutdown day.
