Wiese is the only senior lost to graduation.

He will be missed big time, but you have to think this team can do amazing things next year given who all returns.

Clarkson/Leigh will get Tommy McEvoy back, and that should help out tremendously.

Imagine him with all the other backs the Patriots developed this year...man oh man that could be lethal.

I think Clarkson/Leigh could very well take that next step next year and get past the 2nd round of the playoffs, assuming everyone stays healthy.

There's a lot of good, experienced, and young talent coming back for this team next year, and I think the Patriots can be a force to be reckoned with for sure.

Clarkson/Leigh can definitely repeat as District Champs, but it will be interesting to see who they get matched up with.

The Patriots have what it takes to be a great and dynamic team next year, in my opinion.

Clarkson/Leigh has to work extremely hard in the offseason and put in the time, work, and effort though.

The Patriots can't sit around all offseason and expect greatness next year.

Clarkson/Leigh has to work their tails off in the weightroom and on the field each and every day.

The Patriots need good weightroom attendance as well as good participation in team and summer camps, and summer leagues.

Football isn't an August-November sport, it requires year round dedication, work, effort, and determination.

So Clarkson/Leigh needs a big offseason to take that next step and become a great team next season.
