In the Mix: None
ANALYSIS
Until the Patriots add another veteran running back to the mix, it's difficult to envision a scenario where their top-four backs don't make the roster.
Former Jags and Jets running back James Robinson, who was trying to restart his career following an Achilles tear in the 2021 season, didn't make it out of the spring. As is the case for most players at the position who suffer Achilles injuries, Robinson didn't have the explosiveness needed to make the Patriots roster as a depth option behind Stevenson and was released in June after signing in as a free agent in March.
