New England Patriots linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley is fired up about the team hiring Terrell Williams as the new defensive coordinator. Bentley made his feelings known on social media.
The Patriots fell into a slump on the defensive side of the ball under former coach Jerod Mayo and defensive coordinator DeMarcus Covington. There’s hope that the unit can finally get back on track under Williams and coach Mike Vrabel.
Bentley, a team captain, suffered a season-ending injury in the Patriots’ Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. His presence was missed throughout the season as the team struggled against the run.
Now, he is looking forward to putting the past in the rearview and starting a new chapter under Williams.

Williams did wonders for the Detroit Lions’ defensive front last season. There’s hope he can do the same right out of the gates for the struggling Patriots.
