The New England Patriots have soared in an improbable run to the top of the AFC East after eight games. Led by quarterback Drake Maye, the team is on an upward trajectory, and one of its other major components has been the stellar play and great attitude of its biggest free agency signing, defensive tackle Milton Williams.
Mike Vrabel brushed aside silliness about his only playing 48 percent of 2024 snaps for the Champion Eagles and realized Williams was a budding superstar in the making. He's justified the big four-year, $104M contract and is leading the defensive line.
