Antonio Brown did his due diligence at learning Patriots playbook quickly this past week

Brown reportedly stayed late with Jarrett Stidham most nights to work on his routes and the playbook.

One thing we can learn from NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport's report on Sunday morning is that New England Patriots receiver Antonio Brown worked hard to fast-track his progression in the Patriots' offensive scheme. 

Here is what Rapoport had to say about the work Brown put in this past week with backup quarterback, Jarrett Stidham. 

"To that end, (Antonio) Brown stayed until 10 p.m. or later most days during the week to catch passes from backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham, while he worked on his routes and the playbook," Rapoport wrote. 

Despite the sexual assault allegations that were tagged on Brown early this past week, one thing Patriots fans can hang their hats on is that Brown is doing his part and trying to acclimate himself in New England. He has done so by quickly learning and working hard so he can become part of the offensive game plan as soon as possible. Expect to see Tom Brady to target Brown early and often in Week 2 vs. the Miami Dolphins, which could be bad news for the Patriots' 0-1 divisional rivals.
