HYPE TRAIN: New England Patriots' Craig Woodson READY to DOMINATE in 2026

Craig Woodson emerges as the New England Patriots’ breakout candidate for 2026, with a rookie season that ended in a Super Bowl showcase—10 tackles, three for loss, and two key pass defenses. Nick Cattles rides the Craig Woodson hype train, examining Woodson’s growing confidence, the impact of Kevin Byard’s arrival, and why Woodson’s blend of athleticism, physicality, and football IQ positions him for a Pro Bowl push. Key discussions include Kayshon Boutte’s uncertain place on the roster amid trade rumors, potential landing spots like the Raiders and Commanders, and the Patriots’ blueprint for a nastier, more physical offense. Can Will Campbell and the revamped offensive line set the tone in training camp? Will New England’s heavy personnel and smash-mouth mentality restore their run-game dominance? Get expert analysis on what these storylines mean for the Patriots’ 2026 outlook. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts...
