The New England Patriots made several moves at their linebacker position this offseason, including the recent release of longtime starter and team captain Ja’Whaun Bentley. How the team feels about its remaining group of ‘backers heading into 2025 and beyond is not known, but it would not be a surprise if an infusion of talent through the draft is in the team’s plans.
If so, UCLA’s Carson Schwesinger should be a definitive name to watch.
