Price & Bedard pick the winners for the Patriots' 2018 training camp awards

The Patriots 2018 training camp is done. Fourteen practices are in the books as New England begins to set the stage in earnest for the regular season. Consider this the capper on camp -- 13 awards for what we've seen sitting on the hill for the last two-plus weeks.

The envelope please...

Comeback Player


Price — WR Julian Edelman: A year after tearing an ACL, the receiver has been running and cutting without an issue since late July, and doesn’t appear to be limited at all. There was a brief moment Monday where everyone held their breath after he got tangled up with Eric Rowe at the end of a crossing route and stood off to the side flexing his knee afterward, but it didn’t appear to be a big deal. He’s been relentless in his approach this summer, and while he said the other day he doesn’t quite have his “football legs” underneath him, he looks well on his way toward returning to elite status after his four-game suspension. He gets the nod ahead of Dont’a Hightower, who has been (interestingly) moved around a lot over the course of the summer. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see some added versatility to Hightower’s game come the regular season.
