The New England Patriots appeared to have strength in numbers along the defensive edge entering their 2024 training camp. Matthew Judon, Joshua Uche and Anfernee Jennings were joined by free agency pickup Oshane Ximines to give the team a solid four-player rotation.
Fast forward to the tail-end of the regular season, and only Jennings remained on the active roster. Move a bit further to the preparation for the team’s 2025 camp, and the 28-year-old is the only one of those four players still with the team. With the Patriots’ edge undergoing a transformation process, he is the old guard left standing.
