The New England Patriots had high hopes for Rhamondre Stevenson in 2024. After signing him to a four-year, $36 million contract extension in the offseason, they expected the fourth-year running back to become the catalyst behind their offense.
That never happened. While Stevenson did end the season as the Patriots’ leader in combined carries and receptions (240), scrimmage yards (969) and touchdowns (8), he also registered a career-low 4.0 yards per touch. The biggest problem, however, was his inability to hold onto the football.
Stevenson fumbled the ball seven times over the course of the season, equaling the number of fumbles he had in the first three years of his career combined.
