The New England Patriots lost a ton of production in their pass rush from 2019 this offseason. Could ex-Pat Jabaal Sheard help out?

Together, Jamie Collins Sr. and Kyle Van Noy collected 13.5 of the 47 sacks the New England Patriots had in 2019. A quick bit of math reveals the easy translation of these stats: Collins and Van Noy accounted for just under 30% of New England’s sack total last year.
