The New England Patriots, one of the most successful teams in the National Football League (NFL), are preparing for the 2020 season. With a string of super bowl titles, the expectations are high for the team from Foxborough. However, this season is going to be a bit different without their longtime quarterback Tom Brady. Nonetheless, the team’s roster is set to impress with some new faces joining the team.

Quarterbacks:
The Patriots’ quarterback position is seeing a massive turnover this season. With Brady leaving the team, the team brought back Brian Hoyer and added former Carolina Panthers starter, Cam Newton. Hoyer is known for his experience, and Newton is known for his athleticism, making him a versatile quarterback for the team.

Running Backs:
The team has an exciting group of running backs led by Sony Michel, James White, and Rex Burkhead. Michel, a former first-round pick, is known for his speed and agility but needs to work on consistency. White remains the team’s top receiving back, while Burkhead provides depth and versatility.

Wide Receivers:
The Patriots’ wide receiver position took a significant hit this offseason, with the departure of the team’s top receiver, Julian Edelman’s sidekick, Phillip Dorsett. However, the team signed some new players, including Damiere Byrd, Jakobi Meyers, and Marqise Lee. N’Keal Harry, the team’s first-round pick in 2019, is also expected to play a more significant role this season.

Tight Ends:
The Patriots have an exciting and dynamic duo at the tight end position, with the addition of Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene, both selected in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft. They will be joined by Ryan Izzo and Matt LaCosse.

Offensive Line:
The New England Offensive line will be led by Isaiah Wynn, who will take over at left tackle for the retired, long-time starter, Joe Thuney. The other starting positions will be held by Shaq Mason, David Andrews, Marcus Cannon, and Jermaine Eluemunor.

Defensive Line:
The Patriots added Beau Allen and Adrian Clayborn in free agency to fill the gaps left by Danny Shelton, and Michael Bennett’s departure. Lawrence Guy and Deatrich Wise Jr also return to the team.

Linebackers:
Linebackers have always been a strength for the Patriots, and this year it’s no different. Dont’a Hightower and Jamie Collins bring experience, while third-round pick, Anfernee Jennings, and fifth-round pick, Josh Uche, add depth.

Cornerbacks:
The Patriots’ cornerback position has always been their strength, and this season it remains the same. Stephon Gilmore, who was the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year, is expected to continue his dominance, alongside J.C. Jackson and Jason McCourty.

Safeties:
The Patriots have a change of pace after Patrick Chung’s decision to sit out for the 2020 season due to the pandemic. Devin McCourty and Duron Harmon are still with the team, while 2019 second-round pick, Joejuan Williams, is expected to see more playing time.

In conclusion, the New England Patriots will have a slightly different team this year. However, the team’s management has done an exceptional job assembling a talented and versatile roster which will continue to yield results. The expectation is high, and hopefully, the team can continue their winning ways even without the legendary Tom Brady.
