Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Impresses in starting role
Hawkins tallied 71 total tackles (45 solo), including 1.5 sacks, six passes defensed, including four interceptions, and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season games in 2025.
The 28-year-old started all 15 games in which he appeared and logged 836 defensive snaps this season, the second-highest total of his career. In his second year with the Patriots, Hawkins proved to be an integral part of the secondary, leading the team in interceptions and ranking fourth in passes defensed. Set to become an unrestricted free agent following New England's 2025 playoff run, Hawkins will likely draw interest from teams in need of a starting safety ahead of the 2026 season.

Hawkins logged seven tackles (four solo), one quarterback hit and one forced fumble during the Patriots' 28-24 win over the Ravens on Sunday.
Hawkins was one of three New England defenders to play all 55 defensive snaps Sunday, and he finished tied with Christian Gonzalez as the team's third-leading tackler behind Jack Gibbens (10) and Carlton Davis (eight). Hawkins' biggest play of the game came late in the first quarter, when he punched the ball out of Derrick Henry's arms to give the Patriots the ball near midfield, and the offense was able to convert the turnover into a one-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye to Hunter Henry 10 plays later. Hawkins has played every single defensive snap in seven of his last eight games and is up to 69 tackles (43 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses (two interceptions), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 13 regular-season games.

Patriots' Jaylinn Hawkins: Spectacular interception in Week 8
Hawkins recorded five tackles (four solo) and an interception during the Patriots' 32-13 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Hawkins was cleared to play Sunday after missing the prior two games due to a hamstring injury. The 2020 fourth-rounder played every single defensive snap and arguably made the play of the game in the third quarter, when he made a one-handed, diving pick on a deep pass intended for Isaiah Bond, which led to a 39-yard touchdown pass from Drake Maye to Kayshon Boutte five plays later. It was Hawkins' second interception of the season, which matches his career high from 2021 and 2022.
