FOXBORO— The New England Patriots corps of running backs were among the team’s most productive positional groupings on the team in 2021.
Despite a season-ending subluxation of the hip suffered by team captain James White in Week 3, New England ran the ball efficiently. The Patriots finished eighth in the NFL in rushing, getting solid contributions from veteran Brandon Bolden, rookie Rhamondre Stevenson and feature back Damien Harris.
Over the past two seasons, Harris has clearly established himself as New England’s top option at the position. In 2021, he enjoyed his most productive season with 959 yards on 211 carries.
