New England Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams revealed his plans for training camp, starting with a trip back home to Texas to begin training immediately.
Williams signed a historic four-year, $104 million contract with the Patriots in free agency, and he plans on repaying them with his performance on the football field. That all starts with preparing the right way over the break and coming back to training camp in shape.

“Go back to Texas and do my training. Make sure I come back into training camp in tip-top shape and ready to go,” Williams said, via MassLive’s Mark Daniels. “I’m ready to use some of this physicality. We’ve got to rush and then stop. (This spring) we’ve got to let the quarterback throw the ball. I’ll come around and be ready for sure.”
Williams is coming off a Super Bowl-winning season with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he’ll be looking to help anchor a Patriots defensive line that struggled last year.
The unit should be much improved in 2025 with Williams and a healthy Christian Barmore in the mix. They also drafted Florida State standout defensive tackle Joshua Farmer, along with making upgrades at linebacker and edge rusher.
On paper, the Patriots’ defense looks like one of the better units in the league. We’ll get a sense of how high the ceiling is when they return from the break and put the pads on for training camp.
