FOXBORO -- The final Patriots practice of the spring ended with offensive and defensive players huddled around NFL referees, called on by head coach Jerod Mayo to officiate practice. With the raise of an officials' arms, offensive players celebrated and defensive players were forced to do pushups. Quarterback Drake Maye had tossed a fade to fellow wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk, a fellow rookie, who had to extend to catch the pass as he fell to the ground with undrafted rookie cornerback Mikey Victor in coverage.

After four open OTA practices here’s what we’ll be watching for as the Patriots take the field for mandatory minicamp on Monday.

FOXBORO -- Patriots rookie Drake Maye seemingly still hasn't ascended over Jacoby Brissett or Bailey Zappe on the quarterback depth chart through a week of organized team activities practices, but he's still putting in the work early in his NFL career.
