Rex Burkhead exemplifies exactly what you look for in a New England Patriot. He’s fast, undersized, shifty and plays the game hard and the right way. Labeled as the “Perfect Patriot”, Burkhead, who battled a rib injury and only played in 13 of the team’s 19 games last year, will look to have more of an impact this season.
With a lot of versatility and speed at the running back position, Burkhead brings the ability to not only run between the tackles but also catch the football and be effective in the passing game as well.
