Brandon Bolden describes Patriots' running back group as ‘jelly beans’

The New England Patriots may have one of the deepest running back rooms in the NFL entering the 2020 season.

Workhorse back Sony Michel will likely get the majority of the carries after a dip in production last season. James White and Rex Burkhead provide pass-catching ability out of the backfield. Sophomore back Damien Harris is a virtual unknown after receiving only four carries in his rookie season as a third-round pick.

As far as veterans, Brandon Bolden seems to be at the bottom of the depth chart, but that doesn’t mean he’s lacking in talent. In a pinch, Bolden has filled in and performed like a lead back when necessary.
