Two days into mandatory minicamp, it is hard not to feel positive about the New England Patriots defense. The unit did stay mostly intact coming both on and off the field compared to 2022, and then went on to add some intriguing talent in the offseason.
It is therefore no surprise that the group is looking good already at this early point in the process. Where it will end up obviously remains to be seen — a lot can still happen before even the first snap of preseason — but if minicamp is an indication, it could be in the mix for the better defensive units in football this coming year.
