Pharms\u2019 fellow defensive tackle Davon Godchaux made sure the unheralded defender got his due.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust growing, man. He\u2019s always willing to grow and he\u2019s going to keep getting better,\u201d Godchaux told NESN.com. \u201cHe\u2019s always putting in the extra work at practice so I\u2019m not surprised about that. It was his time to have a great game and he did it.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pharms wasn\u2019t just recognized by Godchaux for what he did on the field against the Bears. Keion White revealed Pharms came away with a much-deserved team honor as well.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAs a defense, in our individual meeting, he got the defensive player of the week,\u201d White told NESN.com. \u201cSeeing that was a dope experience, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pharms\u2019 teammates certainly are pulling for the 28-year-old since his path to the NFL was anything but conventional.<\/p>\n<p>He spent his college career at Sacramento City College, San Joaquin Delta and Friends University \u2014 the opposite of college football blue bloods \u2014 before winding up in the Indoor League with the Wichita Force. He then jumped to the USFL and played for the Pittsburgh Maulers, which is where he got the attention of the Patriots.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Pharms was on New England\u2019s practice squad for the 2022 season before making his way into nine games last year. He progressed to the point where he turned into an impactful disruptor against the Bears, and there\u2019s no doubt Pharms is a feel-good story for which the Patriots can easily get behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m rooting for him all the way,\u201d White said. \u201cSeeing him come up through everything and being able to make plays, being player of the game, things like that. It\u2019s really dope to see and watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An unlikely Patriots defender got high praise from his teammates and a much-deserved team honor for his performance against the Bears.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8585,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
