The New England Patriots reloaded their backfield this offseason. Last season’s leading rusher, Dion Lewis, left as a free agent, signing with the Tennesee Titans. New England replaced him with multiple players this offseason.
Sony Michel was selected with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Rex Burkhead was re-signed in free agency. Jeremy Hill was signed away from the Cincinnati Bengals. They will all be joining pass-catching specialist James White and Mike Gillislee.
Gillislee was signed last year away from the Buffalo Bills. In the early going, it looked like another steal for New England in free agency.
