The New England Patriots' backfield certainly wasn't anything to write home about this past season, as neither Rhamondre Stevenson nor Antonio Gibson were overly impressive.
Gibson was a decent backup, but Stevenson fumbled the ball seven times and averaged 3.9 yards per carry, which came on the heels of the Patriots handing him a four-year contract extension.
As a result, New England will probably be selecting a running back at some point in the NFL Draft, with head coach Mike Vrabel confirming that the Pats will likely be trying to do so.
While the Patriots may not be spending a high pick on an elite halfback like Ashton Jeanty or Omarion Hampton, there are plenty of other players at the position who can help New England in 2025 and beyond, and ESPN's Jordan Reid specifically thinks the Pats should target a running back who can catch passes out of the backfield.
