The New England Patriots are focusing on strengthening their defense this offseason, with new defensive assistants praising players Marcus Jones and Jabrill Peppers. Defensive backs coach Justin Hamilton highlighted Jones' physicality, versatility, and maturity, indicating he could play both outside and in the slot. Despite his smaller stature, Jones is noted for his aggressiveness in tackling. Peppers, who signed an extension with the team, brings experience and physicality, expected to thrive under the defensive scheme. Overall, the new coaching staff sees potential in these players as they prepare for the season.
When you watch his tape, I saw a more physical player than I expected to see.
He's a fit for us in the DB room. My conversations with him, it's been a young man that has an older soul - very mature and communicates really well.
