J.C. Jackson will pass Jason McCourty and Stephon Gilmore as the ultimate cornerback in New England

He had two great seasons in the league in the NFL with three interceptions as a rookie and five this last season. Jackson is part of an excellent secondary, and this gave him a lot of benefits. He has a really good chance to be the best in the league at this position. Let’s not forget that he ranked No.2 in 2019 right before Gilmore.

This depends on Newton’s health condition. Newton shouldn’t miss more than two games. The Pats will have to win 11 games and Newton will have to boost the offense. New England doesn’t have too many talented weapons. Newton’s running ability may be of great help for the Patriots’ attack.

Gunner Olszewski to replace Julian Edelman as the top slot option and punt returner

“Gunner’s improved tremendously – again, both physically and from a football standpoint,” head coach Bill Belichick said of Olszewski. “He’s a smart kid. He works extremely hard. He’s tough. He’s very, very competitive. He’s learned how to do a lot of different things for us, and he continues to work on things that will expand his opportunities. So, it’ll be interesting to watch him take advantage or try to take advantage of those opportunities, and watch him play and see how all that is coming together.”

Olszewski is bigger, stronger and faster than Edelman. Well, Jules still plays his best football. But, will he stay healthy?
