Kara Durrette/Getty Images For years, the New England Patriots were a prime destination in the NFL for undrafted free agents: at one point, the team had a 19-year streak of at least one UDFA making its Week 1 roster. The streak found its end in 2023, but was potentially started anew in 2024. The player who started it? Safety Dell Pettus.

Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images Mike Vrabel’s efforts to revitalize the New England Patriots from a cultural perspective led some significant personnel turnover. Longtime franchise cornerstones such as David Andrews, Ja’Whaun Bentley and Joe Cardona were released, while others like Deatrich Wise Jr. and Jonathan Jones were not retained in free agency. As a consequence, the “old guard” looks quite a bit different now. The oldest among them, at least in terms of tenure, is Kyle Dugger.

Kyle Dugger struggled with injuries; Jabrill Peppers spent a majority of the year on the commissioner’s exempt list; Marte Mapu and Jaylinn Hawkins were role players more so than starter-caliber contributors.
