The story of the New England Patriots’ 2020 offseason is dominated by the departure of quarterback Tom Brady. Two weeks removed from his decision to leave the club with which he won six Super Bowls, however, the team’s perspective is not on what was or what could have been but rather on what lies ahead: preparing for the upcoming season, whenever it is that the current Coronavirus pandemic allows the campaign to eventually be kicked off.
Even with Brady and other foundational players such as linebackers Kyle Van Noy and Jamie Collins gone, the Patriots tackle this process with the same mindset as always — at least when listening to running back and team captain James White.
