The New England Patriots brought several free agents in for workouts this week, and a look at the names shows one thing: the team has a keen interest in what the running back market has to offer. Among the six players brought in, after all, three would help improve the depth at that particular position.
The players in question are Zach Evans, Nathaniel Peat and Isaiah Spiller. They were in town earlier this week alongside defensive lineman Pheldarius Payne, edge defender Justin Hollins and linebacker Monty Rice.
Rice was signed to the practice squad following his workout, with the others still on the open market.
