Arguably the strongest position group the New England Patriots had on their 2017 roster was at running back. Headed by the top trio of Dion Lewis, James White and Rex Burkhead, the unit amassed a combined 3,138 yards from scrimmage during last season's 19 games and reached the end zone a total of 30 times.
However, all good things must eventually come to an end. For the Patriots, the end was free agency: While Burkhead was re-signed on a three-year deal, de-facto starting back Dion Lewis was lost to a four-year, $23.
