Josh Uche is going to be special for the New England Patriots’ defense this season.
The edge rusher spent a majority of his time injured in the 2020 season, but he was projected to be key cog in the pass rush as a rookie. He had a promising offseason and it quickly translated during the first quarter of the Patriots’ Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
With less than 30 seconds in the second quarter on third-and-five, Uche blew through Dolphins left tackle Liam Eichenberg to sack Tua Tagovailoa — leaving the Dolphins with just a field goal heading into the second half.
