""From our era, I love playing with Pat Chung. And when I talk to those guys, when I watch those guys, there's a joy that me and Pat developed over being in New England," McCourty said. "These guys came in as playing together in college, and now you're in the NFL together, you can see how much joy they have playing with each other. I think that helps you play that position, because you guys have got to be on the same page.""
""These were two guys that, when the team went with them at the end of training camp, everybody was like, What the heck is going on? Now they're going to be their two starters.""
""It feels good to have another Cal Bear next to me.""
Devin McCourty draws parallels between Patriots safeties Craig Woodson and Jaylinn Hawkins and his former partnership with Pat Chung, emphasizing the chemistry and joy of playing together. The 2025 Patriots present a different look offensively and in coaching style, yet the secondary shows continuity through developing tandems. Woodson is a rookie and Hawkins a depth safety who rose unexpectedly to starting roles. The Patriots defense is anchored by players like Christian Gonzalez, Milton Williams, and Christian Barmore, with the safety duo gaining recognition for cohesiveness and on-field communication that helps their play.
