New Patriots defensive lineman Davon Godchaux has sights set on the ‘pivotal’ nose

Being multiple is part of Davon Godchaux’s job description. So is being in the middle.

That is where the defensive lineman, who reached a two-year contract worth up to $16 million in the hours after the NFL’s negotiating window opened, projects to be for the New England Patriots.

“I feel like nose tackle, I thrive,” Godchaux told reporters during his introductory video conference on Wednesday. “Being one-on-one with the center, I feel like that’s a mismatch in my favor.”

Godchaux started 42 of his 52 games for the Miami Dolphins after landing in the fifth round of the 2017 draft.
