Speaking to reporters at the NFL meetings earlier this month, head coach Mike Vrabel said that the New England Patriots adding another running back through the draft would be “potentially something that we would like to do.” Vrabel’s team does have Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson atop the depth chart at the moment, but there are several suitable candidates to fill the “good, young runner” role the first-year coach mentioned.
Among them is Texas’ Jaydon Blue, one of the most explosive backs in this year’s draft class.
