With all the other positions the Patriots had to stock with more talent this offseason, you might have thought the team wouldn’t invest much capital at running back in the 2022 NFL Draft.
So naturally, New England drafted two Day 3 backs: Pierre Strong Jr. (Round 4) and Kevin Harris (Round 6).
When you think about it, the fact that they did so isn’t that surprising: the Patriots typically invest a solid amount of draft capital at running back and are among the best teams in the league at getting value out of their running back draft picks.
