With one preseason game now in the books after New England’s 48-18 win over the Commanders on Friday , here’s our first look at the Patriots’ projected 53-man roster for Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season.
Quarterback (2): Drake Maye, Joshua Dobbs
No major surprises with this one, with third-string QB Ben Wooldridge the odd man out on this personnel grouping (and likely a candidate for the practice squad).
Maye is New England’s No. 1 option under center, and barring a catastrophic injury, that’s not going to change any time soon.
Dobbs wasn’t very accurate during Friday’s preseason win over Washington, but the 30-year-old veteran should be a capable backup and mentor to Maye in his second season in the NFL ranks.
Running back (3): Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson, Antonio Gibson
