The New England Patriots had one of the best defenses in the NFL in 2023. Defensive tackle Davon Godchaux believes it can be even better for the 2023 season.
New England ranked eighth in total defense last season. The unit had 14 interceptions on the year and had a plus-7 turnover differential.
Nearly every player from last year’s defense is back, with the exception of safety Devin McCourty, who retired back in March. New England also used the draft to focus on defense. Cornerback Christian Gonzalez was the team’s first selection, while defensive end Keion White was selected in the second round.
