Jacas: Past Doesn't Matter, I'm 100%

Patriots rookie linebacker Gabe Jacas, the final 2025 draft pick to sign, says he's 100 percent healthy and focused on the future after delayed contract and offseason knee surgery.

Second-round pick Gabe Jacas was the final member of the 2025 draft class to sign an NFL contract with the New England Patriots. The linebacker didn't participate in the offseason program and had a surgical procedure on his left knee, with the Patriots including an injury waiver in his contract. syntagm.co.za

Jacas declined to discuss details about his knee issue beyond saying "whatever might've happened, I'm good now" and that "all that stuff is behind me." He'll need to make up for missed time quickly but hopes to make an impact on the field that will make his rocky start a distant memory.
