Just minutes after the Patriots wrapped up their second day of OTAs on Wednesday afternoon, second-year wide receiver Kyle Williams took to social media to voice his early frustrations.
“Ain’t no way OTA’s feeling like training camp,” Williams captioned on an Instagram Story photo, sitting at his locker. “N it’s only day 2????????”
The Patriots’ offseason has been a distracting one, as coach Mike Vrabel has been in the spotlight for cheating on his wife with NFL insider Dianna Russini, and rumors have circled around the team regarding a trade for Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown.
But even with all the distractions that have surrounded the Patriots this offseason, it’s clear that it’s time to get back to football for the reigning AFC champions.
Patriots receiver Kyle Williams (18) and his teammates are having some intense OTAs.
The Patriots are entering their second season with Vrabel as head coach. Vrabel spent eight years of his playing career with the Patriots, winning three Super Bowls under Bill Belichick, who is considered the most successful coach in franchise history.
The Patriots spent one year without Belichick or Vrabel in the building as Jerod Mayo had a one-year stint as head coach in 2024.
Williams and his teammates have had an eventful offseason that saw coach Mike Vrabel embroiled in scandal.
Vrabel was tasked with bringing back “The Patriot Way,” and it appears that even with all the distractions off the football field during the offseason, he is still instilling the philosophy of tough and intense practices in New England.
Williams was a third-round pick by the Patriots in 2025. He is third on the team’s depth chart behind Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins.
Williams appeared in 17 regular-season games for the Patriots last season, totaling 10 receptions for 209 yards and three touchdowns.
