The New England Patriots appear to be trending in the right direction after a 2-2 start to the 2025 regular season, and the good news is that some of the team’s big-name players have been right in the driver’s seat.
Quarterback Drake Maye has shown clear signs of a Year 2 jump, entering Week 5 ranked sixth in the NFL in passing yards (988), tied for eighth in touchdown passes (7), and fifth overall in passer rating (109.4).
Top free agent signings on defense, like defensive end Milton Williams and EDGE rusher Harold Landry, have already proven to be difference-makers.
