The New England Patriots offense and special teams will look drastically different in 2024. The defensive side of the ball also has not been immune to change this offseason, but it was not quite as far-reaching — starting at the very top of the unit.
Newly-hired defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington has been with the Patriots since 2017, most recently working as the team’s D-line coach. On Wednesday, Covington was officially introduced to the media in his new role, and the topic of change also was brought up.
At least philosophically, it appears there will not be a lot of it.
