For this week’s theme, SB Nation is looking at the most underrated defensive linemen on each team in the NFL. Let’s jump right into it.
The New England Patriots defensive line isn’t flush with high-level talent. Adam Butler and Deatrich Wise are both rookies and while they’ve shown upside, they’re certainly still playing like it’s their first year in the NFL. Alan Branch regressed to the point of being a healthy scratch, although he’s made a recent return to the line-up. Cassius Marsh has been up-and-down more than any other player on the Patriots roster on any given drive.
