Running back is far down the list of needs for the New England Patriots this offseason.
They already have two firmly entrenched on the depth chart in Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson. But seven fumbles from Stevenson, who signed a four-year, $36 million contract extension with the Patriots last offseason, overshadowed a campaign in which he ran for 801 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns in 15 games.
But perhaps Stevenson’s fumbling woes could push Mike Vrabel and the Patriots to find a new lead back. And if that’s the case, could New England pull the trigger on drafting standout Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty?
