FOXBORO, Mass. — The New England Patriots fielded one of the NFL’s leakiest run defenses in 2020.
Davon Godchaux is here to ensure that doesn’t happen again this season.
“I always like to say, stop the run to have some fun,” the veteran defensive tackle said Wednesday as he prepared for his regular-season Patriots debut. “… That’s from Coach Ed Orgeron at LSU. That kind of was my mentality once I left there and got drafted in Miami and came here. I was always built on stopping the run.”
The Patriots ranked 26th in rushing yards allowed per game last season.
