When have the patriots ever had athletic DEs? Chandler jones is the only "athletic guy" that comes to mind.Not to be a downer here but don't expect much help from him when it comes to the pass rush. Marsh had a lot of trouble setting the edge in Seattle. Marsh has zero bull rush ability and gets too easily washed out. With that said, he is a high motor/effort type player and good(not great) on special teams.
Outside of flowers, I believe this is the least athletic group of defensive ends the patriots have had in many years.
Typically they are complete players big and strong more than quick and athletic.
But I expect Hightower to essentially be used in a role much like a de.
