The excitement around the Patriots' defense was high going into the 2025 season, with the secondary being near the top of the list of groups with the most potential to become the best part of the roster.

The problem is that we haven't seen that yet because of injuries, as both players dealt with their own throughout the summer and were unable to take the field together that much at practice.
