What happened: Caleb Lomu, selected No. 28 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, shared a personal milestone during New England's mandatory minicamp. The rookie offensive tackle revealed he purchased a new set of golf clubs shortly after signing his first professional contract.

Why it matters: The Patriots rookie signed a four-year deal worth $18.9 million earlier this week, including a $10.5 million signing bonus. Lomu has been thrust into an immediate first-team role at right tackle this week while veteran Morgan Moses remains sidelined for injury management.

What to watch: Lomu will look to finish minicamp strong on Thursday before the team breaks for the summer ahead of training camp in late July.
