  • Patriots' Christian Barmore: Leads team with 8.5 sacks

    Barmore finished the 2023 regular season with 64 tackles, to go along with a team-high 8.5 sacks in 17 games with the Patriots. Barmore, whom Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site called the team's best overall player this past season, remains under contract with New England in 2024 and is viewed as a potential candidate for an extension this offseason. Regardless if such a deal happens, the 2021 second-round draft pick is slated to reprise his role as a key interior lineman during Jerod Mayo's first campaign as the franchise's head coach.

  • Patriots' Christian Barmore: First defensive tackle selected

    The Patriots selected Barmore in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 38th overall. Barmore is the first defensive tackle off the board in a weak tackle class, but in terms of raw talent, he was worth an earlier selection. Barmore (6-foot-4, 310 pounds) is particularly athletic for his size, as his 4.98-second 40 time would be a strong mark even for a much smaller player. Questions about his motor might have informed his fall to this point in the draft, but the talent isn't in any serious question.
