The 2025 Patriots' massive roster rebuild included virtually every aspect of the team's roster. On defense, new Head Coach Mike Vrabel dramatically remodeled the Patriots' former defensive scheme by adding players to fit his attacking style.
He added to every level of the defense, from the interior defensive line to the safety position, with numerous new, more mobile, faster, and better players. The watchword was attack, and Vrabel added playmakers at every turn. The 2025 defense will be a totally different animal from 2024.
On offense, the transformation was even more stark. The offensive line received more than a dozen new players, including three rookie draft picks.
