Patriots player profile: Marcus Epps could be the missing piece at safety
Briefly

The New England Patriots experienced subpar performance from their safety group in 2024, despite having a strong roster on paper. Injuries to Kyle Dugger and Jabrill Peppers' absence on the commissioner's exempt list left the team in need of reinforcements. With the future of the safety position hinging on the comeback of Dugger and Peppers, the Patriots have added Marcus Epps from free agency to enhance competition. Epps, a former walk-on turned starter, has proven his capability after establishing himself in the NFL, particularly during his time with the Eagles.
Despite a promising safety lineup, the Patriots underperformed in 2024, prompting new additions to boost competition and recovery prospects for key players like Dugger and Peppers.
