Turnarounds in the NFL are nothing new these days, as it can often take a few pieces to turn a last-place team into a playoff team. The 2025 edition of the Patriots could be - and are expected by some to be - an example of that, as Eliot Wolf and Robert Kraft did an exceptional job this offseason of surrounding Drake Maye with better coaches and teammates.
Maye and the Patriots are set up for success this season, and on ESPN's "Get Up" talk show on Monday morning, Damien Woody, who was part of the Patriots' first Super Bowl teams, said New England is a team he's watching out to surprise people in the AFC.
