Former defensive lineman Richard Seymour spent eight seasons in New England after being selected in the first round in 2001.

New England is favored in eight games, underdogs in seven and a pick-em with the Chargers, according to an online site which set betting lines for all 2020 NFL games.

Third-round draft pick Anfernee Jennings has been compared to several current and ex-Patriots.

New England’s opponents in the 2020 season have a winning percentage of .537 based on last season’s results.

Brandon Copeland, part of the Patriots’ revamped linebacker corps, has made many contributions off the field – from teaching at the Wharton School of Business to battling hunger in the community.

David Andrews, who missed all of last season with blood clots in his lungs, is so ready to return, even with Tom Brady and Dante Scarnecchia gone.

Bill Belichick easily leads all active coaches with 304 victories, 43 away from tying Don Shula’s mark.

Devin Asiasi gets picked in the third round by the Patriots, who placed a high priority on revitalizing the tight end position in this year’s draft.

The Bills, Dolphins and Jets all upgraded in the draft, but they are all still chasing the Patriots, even with Tom Brady gone to Tampa Bay.

New England needs someone to step us as a second option at wide receiver and someone to become their starting tight end.
