Summary
The Patriots are banking on Elijah Ponder to step into the edge rusher void left by departing star KLavon Chaisson, who’s now with Washington on a lucrative one-year deal. Ponder, an undrafted rookie who earned a rotational role last season and even got snaps with the starters during minicamp, is poised to take on a bigger role under coach Mike Vrabel — a mentor known for developing talent.
