Is Rhamondre Stevenson having the best season for a running back in Patriots history?
Well, it would depend on how you define “best.” Corey Dillon owns New England’s single-season rushing record with 1,635 yards while LeGarrette Blount has the most rushing touchdowns in a single campaign with 18. Stevenson likely won’t reach either of those marks.
However, in terms of all-around production, Stevenson might be in the process of setting a new standard for a Patriots running back.
The outstanding sophomore racked up 680 rushing yards and 359 receiving yards in his first 11 games, including 36 and 76, respectively, in Thursday night’s 33-26 road loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
