Since joining the Patriots in 2021, Godchaux has never missed a game. He was drafted in the fifth round out of LSU by Miami in 2017 where he didn’t see the field much in a reserve role. However, in New England he began to find his stride improving his career totals to 429 tackles, 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and three passes defended.
Godchaux is a native of the City of Plaquemine and was an All-State defensive lineman for Plaquemine High School.
