New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel revealed the 2025 offseason award winners earlier this week.
Left guard Cole Strange, defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga, outside linebacker Truman Jones and wide receiver Demario “Pop” Douglas all won awards, per ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
Douglas and Strange are expected to continue playing major roles on offense in 2025. Douglas led all receivers with 66 catches for 621 yards last season. Strange was injured most of the 2024 season, but he was inserted right into the mix when he returned and made starts on the offensive line.
He is currently battling second-year offensive lineman Caedan Wallace and rookie Jared Wilson for the starting job in training camp.

Tonga is expected to make an impact on the run defense, while Jones has an uphill battle to make the final roster on a crowded Patriots defensive front.
With that said, this award obviously bodes well for the winners. We’ll see if they can continue the momentum throughout training camp.
