The New England Patriots’ 2021 draft class proved to be a highly successful one last season. From Mac Jones to Rhamondre Stevenson, many of the draft selections contributed right away. This included defensive tackle Christian Barmore, who showed the NFL what he could do early on.
Barmore recorded 46 tackles and 1.5 sacks on the season. The former Alabama star was a key piece of New England’s defensive line. Many believe that he will be able to improve upon his rookie year after a successful season under his belt.
As the season progressed, he looked more comfortable on the line. He recorded five tackles in the season finale against the Miami Dolphins and had his first sack of the season the week prior against the Jacksonville Jaguars on January 2.
