New England Patriots rookie Caleb Lomu has a distinct perspective on how he approaches successes and shortcomings in practice.
According to MassLive’s Mark Daniels, Lomu stated after practice on Monday that he approaches drills with a mindset of either gaining a win or a learning experience.
“Everyone that is out on this field wants to be here,” Lomu said. “And so I’m not going to win every rep and I know that. So, just like you said, I’m either winning or I’m learning. And so, those reps that I don’t win all the time, I’m learning from that. What did I do to lose that rep? And whatever I did, just don’t do that again.”
Lomu went 3-0 in one-on-one pass rush drills in practice on Monday, after experiencing struggles throughout training camp. The Utah product is in line to play behind Patriots starting left tackle Will Campbell this season, as well as starting right tackle Morgan Moses, the latter of whom he has filled in for regularly in practice.
The 21-year-old Lomu has the rest of training camp, as well as the upcoming preseason slate, to continue learning and getting adjusted to the speed of the NFL prior to the start of the season.
