It was relatively surprising when, earlier this month, New England Patriots inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo admitted that the team was looking to get faster and more explosive on defense.

“You always want to get faster, especially in today’s game. That’s at all spots, not only at linebacker or defensive line or in the backend. . .” Mayo said during an appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Zolak & Bertrand.
