It didn't come as a surprise when the Patriots made numerous changes to a team that went 4-13 in 2024. The offense was stagnant and uninspiring, the defense struggled to pressure opposing QBs, and the 2024 rookie class was largely disappointing.
Both coordinators and head coach Jerod Mayo were replaced, and the team saw former OC Josh McDaniels return to his old post with the Patriots.
Despite the disappointing offense the Patriots produced, the tight end room was solid. Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper both produced, and they will both be on the roster in 2025.
