The New England Patriots are entering a season full of question marks, but these players are definitely worth keeping an eye on.

We don’t know when the NFL season will start. We don’t even know if it will start at all, but right now it gives us hope looking forward to what could become of the New England Patriots 2020 season.

This is the start of a new era in New England. The roster has undergone quite the transformation and pillars of the franchise have left. The status quo has been demolished and a new foundation will be set at Gillette Stadium.

Because of this, New England Patriots fans will be focused on some new players while others will still have the focus of the loyal fan base. It is time for new leaders and stars to emerge.

Devin McCourty, Julian Edelman, and Dont’a Hightower will have an increased leadership role. On both sides of the ball there needs to be improved play. Even the kicking game has undergone a transformation.

It will be interesting to see what new stars emerge and who falls into obscurity. There are definitely players who are looking to make up for a poor 2019 season.

So these are the 5 players you are going to want to watch in 2020. They have a lot to prove and depending on how they do, they could become a major part of the Patriots team for now and possibly the foreseeable future.
