Patriots cornerback Marco Wilson has emerged as a potential surprise starter in the crowded secondary during training camp. Known for his athleticism and attention to detail, Wilson ran impressive times at his pro day and scored high on the relative athletic score. Patriots defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery emphasized that the competition for positions will be settled based on performance on the field and in the preseason. With Christian Barmore out, Davon Godchaux and Daniel Ekuale are likely locks for interior defensive line spots, leaving several players competing for the remaining spots. Montgomery is working to shape up Mike Purcell and sees potential in Trysten Hill as a rusher. Jeremiah Pharms stood out in the preseason opener with a sack and multiple hurries, showing his ability to make plays. As the Patriots continue through training camp, the competition for starting spots remains fierce, with players like Wilson and Pharms making their case for a place in the starting lineup based on their performance and potential.
