FOXBOROUGH — There’s a new sense of confidence at Gillette Stadium ahead of the 2025 NFL season.

After back-to-back four-win seasons along with coaching woes last year, it finally feels like there’s some stability for the New England Patriots. And one Patriots veteran is ready to show everyone what this team is capable of.

“It’s about to be lit, bro. I’m excited for the city, for this team,” cornerback Carlton Davis said. “We’ve been working hard. I’m just ready to go to war with these guys. I’m just excited about what we all can do on that field together.”

Davis signed with the Patriots this offseason on a three-year, $54 million contract, marking one of many impressive defensive offseason additions by head coach Mike Vrabel.

“All the playmakers we’ve got. Everything we’ve been doing, for me, has been something that I’m looking forward to come Game 1,” Davis explained. “I don’t want to get into specifics, but I am really excited to play alongside guys like Gonzo (Christian Gonzalez), Spill (Robert Spillane), Milton (Williams) – everybody. We’ve just got a lot of guys, a lot of dogs out there. I’m pretty sure it’ll show up on game day.”

But most importantly, he’s a big fan of his new head coach.

“I’m excited to play for Mike and how he’s running the show, how he’s holding us accountable for everything, anybody, including myself. I really appreciate that in a coach,” Davis said. “I really appreciate how he treats everything the same. When you bring a team like that, you usually have success behind it.”
