The New England Patriots don't "need" to prioritize the running back position this offseason. Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to be the team's starter again entering the 2025 season.
However, there is a track record of fumble issues that could quickly irritate Mike Vrabel and the new-look coaching staff. That could lead the Patriots to bring in an insurance option this offseason.
No one should be expecting New England to go out and bring in a key free agent or draft a back in the first few rounds. But, there are some intriguing players in the fourth or fifth round range that could make sense.
