The New England Patriots are looking to revitalize their pass rush after winning Super Bowl LI. Trey Flowers is a cornerstone player, but Rob Ninkovich is aging, Chris Long isn’t coming back, and there is a very good chance that Jabaal Sheard will receive a contract offer with more playing time somewhere else.
The Patriots will likely double-dip at the position, just like they did in the 2015 NFL Draft with Flowers and Geneo Grissom, but there’s one player that definitely won’t be on the board with an interesting Patriots-related goal.
