Watch: Reagor makes amazing one-handed catch on Drake Maye deep ball

Watch: Reagor makes amazing one-handed catch on Drake Maye deep ball originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

It didn’t take long for rookie quarterback Drake Maye to put together a highlight reel play at his first New England Patriots training camp.

Camp practices began Wednesday at Gillette Stadium, and during one of the 7-on-7 drills, Maye dropped back and threw a deep pass down the right sideline intended for wide receiver Jalen Reagor. The 25-year-old wideout made a fantastic one-handed grab, drawing applause from the fans in attendance.

Check out the play in the video below posted by the NFL:

NBC Sports Boston’s Patriots insider Phil Perry gave his analysis of the Maye-Reagor connection, along with reaction from safety Jabrill Peppers, in the X post below:

Maye is a very good deep ball passer, and that was evident on the above play with Reagor. He throws a tight spiral and is quite accurate.

Reagor is a player worth watching in camp. He was a first-round draft pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 but hasn’t yet lived up to expectations. He played 11 games for the Patriots last season and tallied seven receptions for 138 yards on 23 targets.

The Patriots’ wide receiver depth chart is pretty crowded. It remains to be seen whether Reagor will make the final 53-man roster, but Wednesday’s session was definitely a step in the right direction for him.
