Former NFL Quarterback Predicts Patriots Will ‘Make Noise’ In 2025

Despite winning only four games in 2024, there is significant optimism surrounding the New England Patriots entering the 2025 season. A key reason for this optimism is the belief that the team has found its future franchise quarterback in Drake Maye, whom they drafted in 2024.

The Patriots' front office aggressively addressed the roster this offseason. In free agency, they signed prominent players including defensive lineman Milton Williams, edge rusher Harold Landry III, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and cornerback Carlton Davis III. The team also focused on the draft, selecting offensive tackle Will Campbell, running back TreVeyon Henderson, and another player (Kyle Williams) with their first three picks.

These moves have significantly improved the Patriots' roster on paper. While acknowledging it might take time for everything to come together, former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky expressed strong belief in the team's potential. He stated on "NFL Live" that if the three high draft picks (Campbell, Henderson, Williams) become impactful players immediately, the Patriots could "make noise" and contend much sooner than many expect.

Although some roster holes remain, the front office is credited with bolstering the team with established veterans while building a young core around Maye. Further aiding their potential is one of the league's easiest schedules. Under the leadership of head coach Mike Vrabel, if the team gels quickly, a wild card playoff berth is considered a realistic possibility for the upcoming season.

The article concludes by noting that while many factors need to align favorably and the season hasn't started yet, the positive buzz surrounding the Patriots in Foxboro during training camp is becoming increasingly hard to ignore.
