Fans of the New England Patriots have plenty to feel good about these days, not just because their team won its record-tying sixth Super Bowl in February. Heading into their second preseason game, the Patriots are also looking like one of the best teams in football yet again: they have considerable depth and talent in all three phases of the game, and appear to have replaced their offseason departures on and off the field well.
Add the return of starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn, the emergence of rookies like Jakobi Meyers and Chase Winovich, and strong training camp performances by some the team’s free agency additions and you understand why 96% of all Patriots fans are currently confident in the overall direction the team is headed towards — that is the result of SB Nation’s latest FanPulse survey (please click here if you also want to participate).
