What to know for Friday
▪ Maye's accuracy has stood out in training camp thus far.
He joked with his defense, including Jabrill Peppers, that they could have had a few interceptions here and there, but overall, the 22-year-old quarterback has been on the money with his throws.
'I think that's a goal of ours, to protect the football,' he said. 'Not trying to — like I said — [jinx] the perfect game or no-hitter. But I think that's part of it. I'm not scared to throw it. I'm still not gunshy.'

'Joe is fantastic. I appreciate him just from the time that I got here, reaching out,' Vrabel said. 'We're probably different personalities, and I think that that's probably what I appreciate the most about him.'

Patriots will unveil Tom Brady statue on Friday, August 8
Yes, Tom Brady is getting a statue. Via Mike Reiss of the bronze Brady will be unveiled on Friday, August 8, before the team's preseason opener against the Commanders. Reiss notes that, initially, the plan was to reveal the statue during the 2024 season, when Brady was at Gillette Stadium for a game. They targeted Week 5, against the Dolphins. A Week 2 concussion suffered by Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa prompted Fox to pull the plug on sending its No. 1 broadcast team to New England for the game. Brady and owner Robert Kraft are expected to speak at the ceremony in the hours preceding kickoff. Despite spending two decades in New England, Brady is now a minority owner of the Raiders. And the Patriots will open the season with a visit from Brady's Raiders. That would have been the best time to unveil the statue. Unfortunately, however, Brady isn't permitted to call Raiders games.

Patriots rookie Efton Chism studying film of two-time Super Bowl champ
Undrafted #Patriots WR Efton Chism III says he's currently studying film of Danny also has nightly study sessions with Mack Hollins. New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Efton Chism III revealed he is currently studying film on former Patriots great Danny Amendola, as he works on getting acclimated to a new offensive system. It's certainly not a bad idea to study film on a two-time Super Bowl champion who made as great an impact as Amendola did in New England. He recorded 230 receptions for 2,386 yards and 12 touchdowns in five seasons with the Patriots. Perhaps his greatest contributions were his clutch playoff performances, where he tallied a total of 57 catches for 709 yards and six touchdowns in 13 postseason games. Chism has a similar physical makeup at receiver, and he is hoping to learn a thing or two from Amendola's tape. Chism stood out as a possible dark horse to make the final roster in the spring practices. That noise has dipped in training camp, but it could be on the verge of ramping back up with a strong preseason showing. Perhaps Chism can take successful elements from Amendola's game and apply them to his own approach in training camp. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Boston Celtics jersey history No. 28 - Sam Cassell (2008)
The Boston Celtics have had players suiting up in a total of 68 different jersey numbers (and have three others not part of any numerical series) since their founding at the dawn of the Basketball Association of America (BAA -- the league that would become today's NBA), worn by well over 500 players in the course of Celtics history. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Celtics Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. With 25 of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Celtics to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover. And for today's article, we will continue with the eighth of 14 people to wear the No. 28, Boston guard alum (and current assistant coach) Sam Cassell. After ending his college career at Florida State, Cassell was picked up with the 24th overall selection of the 1993 NBA Draft by the Houston Rockets. The Baltimore, Maryland native also played for the Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Los Angeles Clippers before signing with Boston for the final 17 games of his NBA career as a player in 2008, helping to win his final of three titles won as a player. During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Cassell wore only jersey No. 28 and put up 7.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.
