The Patriots’ offense overall had a terrible 2020, but if there was a bright spot in the dismal 7-9 season it was from the running backs.
The team had a nice 1-2 punch of Damien Harris and Sony Michel, both of whom averaged over 5 yards per carry in the running game last year. Harris, after a red-shirt type of season in 2019, suffered a freak injury at the end of training camp and missed the first few weeks of the season.
However, in 10 games, Harris showed that he is more than capable of being a very good weapon in the running game.
