First, running back James White made a very nice catch on a wheel route for about a 20-yard touchdown from Brady in 11-on-11 work. Second, Amendola was catching everything thrown in his direction, as he and Brady seem to be operating at a higher level and building off their solid 2014 postseason together. Third, seventh-round draft choice Darryl Roberts, a cornerback out of Marshall working mostly on the left side, had a quality pass breakup against Garoppolo (believe it was against veteran receiver Brandon Gibson) over the middle. On one of the next plays, Roberts – who was schooled by coaches on playing with the proper leverage – was also in coverage on an incomplete pass along the left sideline but probably would have likely drawn a penalty for pass interference.

Three nice nuggets of note from Mike Reiss. Sounds like James White is getting some quality reps and Amendola was universally praised by observers as having a great practice. Still only June, but these are things we can consider at this point.
