Patriots DT Christian Barmore studying four linemen for 2025 season
New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been studying some of the best defensive linemen in the league in preparation for the 2025 season. He is doing the extra homework in hopes of maximizing his potential in a defensive system that allows him to get upfield more often. That has led to him studying other big, athletic defensive linemen, such as Jeffery Simmons, Chris Jones, DeForest Buckner and Cameron Heyward. Advertisement Barmore is looking to have a bounce-back year after missing most of the 2024 season due to blood clots. He has participated in all of the offseason work up to this point. That's a good sign for his availability for training camp and ultimately Week 1 of the regular season. Before the blood clot issues, Barmore was emerging as one of the best young defensive tackles in the league. A healthy Barmore will make a strong Patriots defensive line even more lethal, particularly with some of the other additions they've made to the roster, including adding Super Bowl champion defensive tackle Milton Williams.

Patriots' Christian Barmore Is Out To Prove He's Still Himself In 2025
New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore has returned in full after being limited to ... More four games due to blood clots in 2024. (Photo by Jessica Rinaldi/The Boston Globe via Getty Images) Christian Barmore intends on keeping last year behind him. After missing all but four games in 2024 due to complications stemming from blood clots, the New England Patriots defensive tackle has been medically cleared for a full return in 2025. And since players reported back to Gillette Stadium for the offseason workout program, he's been among them from April into June. That's the plan moving forward. 'That stuff I went through, man, I would never, ever want anybody to go through that," Barmore told reporters following Monday's session of mandatory minicamp. "That stuff, imagine someone stopping you from breathing, literally like stopping you. Now, I can breathe again. Now, them lungs open up, so it's like what's up. I'm good, man. Good to go. Green light.' The 25-year-old Barmore had been placed on the non-football illness list as active rosters around the NFL reduced to 53 last August. He was moved back to the list in December after experiencing recurring symptoms. In between the shutdowns arrived 123 defensive snaps. Those snaps brought one sack and six total tackles. 'There's really just a lot of fire in my heart," Barmore said. "I can say that because I feel like after that situation, people forgot who I am. So I'm just really bringing a lot of competitive with me. Every day when I'm on this field, it's just to prove that I'm still me and I'm always going to be me.' Last spring, Barmore signed a four-year, $84 million contract extension with New England. It carried a maximum value of $92 million as well as $41.8 million in guarantees. The agreement came on the heels of a 2023 campaign that spanned 64 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and a team-high 8.5 sacks for Barmore. Pro Football Focus charted his degree of disruption for 49 combined quarterback pressures. He also had a hand in six pass breakups and one forced fumble while appearing in every game. 'I feel really confident in myself because, one, I'm breathing, talking," the 6-foot-5, 315-pound Barmore said as sights turn toward training camp. "I'm just having fun, talking stuff, talking smack. Just having a good time with my teammates and playing hard.' Since landing in Foxborough at pick No. 38 overall in the 2021 NFL draft, the former University of Alabama national champion's run has included 48 games, 139 tackles, 19 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks and 11 starts. And now, a restart. 'Well, I'm not going to comment on Christian's medical status. I'll leave that up to him, but what I've seen is a player that is excited and that is coachable,' Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said during his Monday press conference. 'Extremely coachable. He has some versatility. He's rushed inside. He's lined up outside. He's worked extremely hard. You've seen him chase and play with great effort down the field. I'm excited to see where he's at, but I've seen a lot of just improvement and a lot of engagement from him since the time that we've been here.'

Patriots' DT Christian Barmore Cleared For Football Activities and On Track For Week One
Ahead of the 2024 NFL season, New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore was ruled out for a large part of the year due to blood clots. He underwent treatment, returned for part of the 2024 season, but was ruled out again after symptoms returned. Looking forward to the 2025 NFL season, there were palpable concerns surrounding Barmore's availability. During a press conference, Barmore provided a very encouraging update on his health. Courtesy of Alex Barth of 985 The Sports Hub on Twitter/X, Barmore gave a positive update on his availability for week one of the 2025 NFL season. Barmore said that he's been cleared for football activity, and that he anticipates being available for week one. It's a very positive update on his health, and gives a lot of confidence in his ability to be ready for the 2025 season. Advertisement While Barmore played in weeks 11, 12, 13, and 15 in 2024, Barmore was still uncertain in whether he would be able to play right away in 2025. This update from Barmore paints a very positive picture, and leads to the belief that he will be ready to go for the Patriots week-one matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore (90) against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm J. Rebilas-Imagn Images The blood clots were a major concern for Barmore, which jeopardized not just his 2025 season, but his career. This update is a huge step towards being ready to go for week one, and a great sign for Barmore in his career. With the Patriots adding Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl champion Milton Williams at defensive tackle, the Patriots would have a dominant duo if Barmore was back. Advertisement A combination of Barmore and Williams would be among the best defensive tackle duo's in the NFL, and could lead to the Patriots defense playing at a much higher level than it did in 2024. Mark Daniels of Mass Live on Twitter/X also shared that Barmore is expected to be a full participant during the offseason workout program, and OTA's when they begin. These two reports on Barmore's health are massive for the four-year veteran defensive tackle. Heading into the final year of his deal, Barmore needs a big season to capitalize and cash in. Playing alongside Williams, and with an improved secondary behind him, Barmore has a good chance to get back to his 2023 self that got 8.5 sacks despite starting just six games.
