Pats Pulpit: A New England Patriots Community
The New England Patriots are about to begin their preparation for the 2026 season. On Monday, players are invited to Gillette Stadium to begin the offseason workout program.

The 2026 NFL Draft is less than 10 days away as the New England Patriots continue the process of finishing their board.

Cornerback is not expected to be a major need as New England returns […]
The NFL offseason ebbs and flows, and after a few relatively quiet weeks a big one awaits. On Thursday, the 2026 draft will kick off in Pittsburgh, and it will be an opportunity for the New England Patriots to add to a roster that already won them a division title and earned them a Super […]
When looking solely at the starters, the New England Patriots might have the best cornerback group in the NFL. Christian Gonzalez is at the very least a top three player at the position, whose efforts single-handedly kept the team in the Super Bowl for as long as it was, while Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones […]
Before a drop off in the playoffs, Hunter Henry was arguably the New England Patriots’ most reliable offensive skill position player during the 2025 season.

The New England Patriots are set to be featured on the HBO documentary series Hard Knocks in 2027, which will give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the team (and new training facility) throughout training camp. Head coach Mike Vrabel had a rather straightforward response when asked for his reaction. “Can’t wait,” he said sarcastically. Patritos […]
When we think of prototypical New England Patriots, not only are we looking at the player, but often the background as well. The perfect encapsulation of a Patriot is someone who may have been overlooked or counted out for some reason or another, whether that is because of size, injury history, and any other factor. […]
Even though the NFL Draft is less than a week away, one of the most widely circulated stories in the league these days is the recently-emerged photos of New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and reporter Dianna Russini at an adults-only resort Arizona.

Speaking to reporters earlier this week, New England Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf gave some insight into the state of the linebacker class in this year’s NFL Draft.

The window to bring external prospects in for pre-draft visits officially closed on Wednesday. At that point, 23 of the 30 spots available to the New England Patriots had been reported.

Even though Robert Spillane and Christian Elliss are set to return as the top two options, the New England Patriots are in the process of rebuilding their linebacker room. The depth behind them, after all, has seen some significant turnover this offseason Jack Gibbens, last year’s No. 3, signed with the Cardinals in free agency. […]
Every year, the NFL Draft media complex whips us all into a frenzy that has us convinced each draft pick will either be your team’s savior or is the final nail in the coffin for a failed front office. As a reminder to myself ahead of draft night, I wanted to post my own list […]
The New England Patriots have rebuilt their interior offensive line this offseason, moving Jared Wilson to center in place of Garrett Bradbury and signing Alijah Vera-Tucker to take over the left guard position. The right guard spot, meanwhile, remains in the reliable hands of Mike Onwenu. With Onwenu set to enter free agency next offseason, […]

The New England Patriots investing high-end draft capital in wide receivers has not proven to be a particularly successful endeavor over the years.

While the NFL Draft in itself is usually pretty straight forward — one player after the other gets picked — the process leading up to is quite complex.
