One of the biggest points of emphasis for the New England Patriots this offseason is increasing the overall speed of the team. Inside linebackers coach Jerod Mayo said as much about the team’s defense back in February, and the club’s director of player personnel echoed those remarks on Friday.
Matt Groh mentioned that the Patriots would be “looking to get faster everywhere” across their roster during a video conference call. With the draft set to come up later this month, that process very much appears to be ongoing.
“There’s multiple ways to [increase team speed],” Groh said.
