As the New England Patriots announced on Sunday evening, defensive tackle Christian Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots over the weekend. What this means for his outlook heading into the 2024 season - and indeed his career as a whole - remains to be seen.
Barmore, who celebrated his 25th birthday on Sunday as well, does sound optimistic, though. That is, at least if a social media post of his following the team's announcement is to be believed.
A second-round draft pick by the Patriots in 2021, Barmore has developed into one of the NFL's most disruptive defensive tackles over the last three seasons.
As a result of his development and potential for future growth, the team signed him to a four-year, $84 million contract extension earlier in the offseason.
