FOXBOROUGH - Craig Woodson didn’t necessarily call it a welcome-to-the-NFL moment, but getting burned by Stefon Diggs during Tuesday’s padded practice is something he’ll never forget from his rookie season.

New England Patriots' quarterback Drake Maye has a new veteran center in 2025, and he's already impressing Garrett Bradbury with his development in his second year.

The Patriots got one of their PUP players back on Tuesday, as tight end Austin Hooper was on the field for practice in Foxboro.

After going unselected in the 2025 NFL Draft, he had a brief stint with the UFL’s Michigan Panthers, playing one game with the team. Moten played both safety and linebacker in college. He was listed as a safety on the Panthers team page, but has been reported to be signed as a linebacker.

But that was with Tom Brady at quarterback, and now it appears McDaniels, returned for his third stint, will adapt his scheme to the skillset of second-year pro Drake Maye. That means allowing his quarterbacks to use their athleticism on bootlegs, options, designed runs and scrambling to throw or take off.

The Jets just signed the guy who led the NFL in field goal percentage the past two years. That would be the same kicker the Patriots once traded away.

Here we'll try to look at the three New England Patriots players on the roster bubble who must shine in the 2025 NFL preseason.
