The New England Patriots' offseason was headlined by the signing of Milton Williams, the drafting of Will Campbell, and tales of Drake Maye's rapid development, but their more under-the-radar signings have been just as impressive.

One of those additions has been Khyiris Tonga, a nose tackle signed from the Cardinals.

Tonga has been a force in the run game, playing 277 snaps through his first twelve games and anchoring one of the best run defenses in football.
