The New England Patriots made a variety of changes and adjustments across the course of a busy 2025 NFL offseason to effectively give their roster a sense of new hope heading into their debut campaign under new head coach Mike Vrabel, and perhaps even a chance to reach the playoffs for the first time since 2021.
However, when polling some former players of the Patriots' regime, a few are seemingly keeping their expectations a bit tempered compared to the masses, who may be a bit more bullish on what New England could have in store.
One recent Patriots player to give their take on what the team could be in for across the 2025 season was former linebacker Rob Ninkovich, who appeared on Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski’s podcast, “Dudes On Dudes", being asked if the Patriots will win over or under 11 games.
