The New England Patriots snagged another running back in Round 6 of the NFL Draft on Saturday, with South Carolina’s Kevin Harris seeing his name called with the 183rd overall selection.
Harris’ addition comes following an earlier pick where New England used their 127th overall selection in the 4th Round on South Dakota’s State’s Pierre Strong, with the Patriots again adding a big, tough back to their backfield.
The South Carolina standout is certainly a little different from Strong. Strong was leaner and faster, while Harris is a little shorter and bulkier (he’s 5’10”, 220lbs) and he definitely has more of a bruising style in terms of how he runs.
