The 2025 New England Patriots are a reconstructed team, with Mike Vrabel engineering about a 50 percent turnover from the 2024 roster. Except for the precocious young quarterback Vrabel inherited, current MVP candidate Drake Maye, most of the attention and rightfully so has been going to the new players on the roster.
Yet, one player from the old regime was recently and deservedly singled out for distinction by Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels. It's tight end Hunter Henry.
Others, like two top defensive backs, All-Pro Christian Gonzalez and Marcus Jones, guard Mike Onwenu, and defensive tackle Christian Barmore, are also back and performing well.
