Rhamondre Stevenson was second in rushing yards for the Patriots behind Damien Harris during his rookie season, but he didn’t make much noise in the passing game.
Stevenson caught 14 passes while Brandon Bolden stepped into a bigger role as a receiver after James White was lost for the year with a hip injury. White has retired and Bolden left for the Raiders, so there’s an opportunity to pick up some snaps that went elsewhere last year.
Based on head coach Bill Belichick’s response to a question about Stevenson’s ability in the pass game on Tuesday, the 2021 fourth-round pick will be a contender for that role.
