Michael Bennett admits he struggled to learn the Patriots’ defense

Michael Bennett was brought into New England last offseason to help fill the void that was left in the pass rush with the departure of New England’s top pass rusher for several years in Trey Flowers. Along with Bennett, the Patriots also brought in Jamie Collins and Chase Winovich. New England may have over compensated for the loss of Flowers, but their pass rush has excelled this year and Bennett found himself falling down the depth chart and was given a different role than he was promised when he signed with the team.
