Resetting the New England Patriots Cornerback Positional Grouping for 2022

Following Butler’s reported soon-to-be signing, here is a look at a rebooted Patriots cornerback group for 2022

The New England Patriots defensive backfield will be among the most watched, and potentially most scrutinized areas of the roster heading into the upcoming 2022 NFL season.

Just one week after second-team All-Pro cornerback J.C. Jackson signed a multi-year mega deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, New England’s cornerback position was in need of some assistance. In the Wake of Jackson’s departure, the team has agreed to deals with cornerbacks Terrance Mitchell and Malcolm Butler. Both corners will join incumbents Jalen Mills, Jonathan Jones, Myles Bryant, Joejuan Williams, Shaun Wade and Justin Bethel on the depth chart.
