Here are some key storylines as camp opens:
New head coach in Foxboro
Vrabel, a former three-time Super Bowl-winning linebacker with the Patriots, will be tasked with turning around a team that finished 4-13 in the 2024 season.
Vrabel's most recent head coaching experience was with the Tennessee Titans from 2018-2023, where he compiled a 54-45 record, including 3 playoff appearances, an AFC Championship Game appearance, and an AP Coach of the Year award in the 2021-22 NFL season.
After Vrabel was hired in January, Boston 25's Butch Stearns sat down with the Patriots Hall of Famer to discuss forging a new legacy in New England, his past coaching experience, and his vision for the new culture in Foxboro.
He is the 16th head coach in Patriots history.
Year 2 of Drake Maye
Promising second-year quarterback Drake Maye is gearing up to lead the Patriots in a full-time role after starting 12 games in 2024.
Maye flashed upside in those games, completing 66% of his passes for 2,276 yards and 15 touchdowns.
The 22-year-old, who was selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, also showed the ability to impact games with his legs, rushing for 421 yards and two touchdowns on 54 carries.
Maye now gets an opportunity to flourish under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who orchestrated many prolific scoring attacks alongside the great Tom Brady.
Maye is also now a married man. He got hitched to his longtime sweetheart in June.
Maye and Ann Michael Hudson met in middle school, continued their relationship at the University of North Carolina, and got engaged in January.
Key offseason additions
Will Campbell
The Patriots drafted Will Campbell out of Louisiana State University with the fourth overall pick in April's draft.
There is high hope he can hold the left tackle position along the offensive line, protecting Maye's back for years to come.
Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson (Ohio State) and rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams (Washington State) could also play major roles within the offense.
Stefon Diggs
Star wide receiver Stefon Diggs joined the Patriots in the offseason after suffering an ACL tear last October.
Vrabel says Diggs won't have any limitations at the start of camp.
Diggs, now 31, has played for the Vikings, Bills, and Texans over 10 seasons. He had piled up five consecutive seasons with more than 100 receptions before the injury limited him to just eight games in 2024.
Diggs should give the Patriots a dynamic, downfield aerial threat in the passing game.
Other notable offseason additions
Defensive tackle Milton Williams
Cornerback Carlton Davis
Linebackers Robert Spillane and Harold Landry
Offensive tackle Morgan Moses
Wide receiver Mack Hollins
Center Garrett Bradbury

'The players are very excited' - Arteta on Gyokeres arrival
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says it "has been a long journey" to sign striker Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon but everyone is now "very excited" that he is here. The 27-year-old was unveiled before the Gunners 3-2 win over Newcastle in Singapore, having gone straight from the airport to the stadium. As he has not yet trained with his new team-mates, and has not properly trained since Sporting won the Primeira Liga title in May, Arteta is yet to confirm whether the striker will be available for their game against Tottenham in Hong Kong on Thursday. "We are super happy to have Viktor with us," said Arteta. "It's been a long journey to get him over here. "He's been incredible. He was very clear from the beginning where he wanted to play and that passion I felt from him from day one when we first spoke. "You can see the boys [are] very excited with his arrival. "I don't think he has had a single training session with the team since the last game with Sporting when they became champions. So we will assess him. "He's done all the medicals and everything is looking good, but getting him up to speed with the right levels of fitness is very important. "So we're not going to stop him. We want him with us as quick as possible, but we'll have to assess and the medical team will do that."

Roma to Finalize Wesley Coup with an Assist from Milan
Wesley landed in Italy on Sunday morning to take the medicals ahead of his Roma switch. The Giallorossi had been focusing on him all summer long and eventually persuaded Flamengo. According to Sky, the capital club will shell out €25M plus €5M add-ons. They had struck a deal a while back, but the counterparty wanted to secure a quality replacement first. It's Emerson Royal, who had fallen out of favor at Milan. They pipped Besiktas at the post with a €9M bid. The Rossoneri had paid €15M to add him from Tottenham a year ago. He was the starter for half a season, then he sustained a serious calf injury and never re-entered the rotation. New Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini already wanted Wesley at Atalanta. The fullback has totaled 6 goals and 7 assists in 152 matches with Flamengo. He has two caps with Brazil. Unlike Richard Rios, who transferred to Benfica, he was determined to move only to the Giallorossi. La Lupa is also closing in on Verona's Daniele Ghilardi for about €10M plus bonuses. Their manager continues to ask to act hastily in the transfer market. Next on their agenda is an attacker who could play on the left side of their frontline. The most recent options are Igor Paixao and Fabio Silva, but the search is ongoing. Our Take on Roma and Wesley They had to pay a good chunk of change and be very patient, but it's always positive to land a primary target in an area of need. He's not much of a scorer or a big presence in the box like other wing-backs coached by Gasperini, but the tactician evidently believes in his potential and that he'll be a threat nonetheless.
