PFF chose all defenders, Christian Gonzalez, Milton Williams, and Robert Spillane, as the Patriots' top three players. While votes for Maye, Barmore, and Hunter Henry would not have been at all out of place, they're all rock-solid choices.

The new regime in New England might make a decision to keep a player Patriots fans were hoping to see cut this offseason.

Despite his explosive career, the Patriots might not get the best version of Stefon Diggs in 2025.

Christian Gonzalez typically uses his play on the field to be a leader for the rest of the Patriots, and that is scary for opponents.

Colts fans let Tom Brady have it during his appearance at the Indy 500 over the holiday weekend, only to immediately regret it.

As the accolades and top-shelf comps mount up for Efton Chism as the offseason workouts and preseason progress, expect him to make the team's 53-man roster out of camp and be an immediate contributor to Drake Maye's offense.

The new regime in Foxboro has proven that they are not afraid to release any Patriots player they don't deem to be a fit for the upgraded roster.

The Patriots might look for a young cornerback to add to their roster for the 2025 season, but they might want to avoid at least one flashy free agent.

Mike Vrabel has added the requisite pieces for Drake Maye to rack up monster stats in 2025. Expect Maye and the Patriots to make life miserable for the AFC East, including the Buffalo Bills.

The Patriots have the potential to have their best defensive line in years. It could lead a revamped overall defense and team into the playoffs in 2025, their first season together. Those are lofty expectations, but the talent is now there.

The Patriots went from being favored in zero -- yes, zero -- games in 2024 to a very respectable 11 early on before the 2025 season. There's still plenty of off

Mike Vrabel has brought a discipline and structure back to the Patriots that they've lacked the last few years, and that's a positive thing.

In the case of "calling out Milton Williams", rest assured that it's a tempest in a teapot. Great coaches employed similar tactics for decades, and the best learn from those experiences. Mike Vrabel is just ahead of the curve.

The Patriots' most likely new kicker, Andres Borregales. Expect him to win the job, make almost all of his extra points, and be effective in kicking big field goals when necessary. He's exactly what a sixth-round kicker is supposed to be: accurate.

With Mike Reiss's comment, expect Drake Maye to be named a captain, a central representative of his teammates and the franchise. Also, expect him to carry that honor in an exemplary fashion. It's the Patriot Way.

Elliss is indeed a "best kept secret," but he won't be for long. Expect him to join Spillane in an offense-wrecking second level of the Pats' defense this season.
