Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is expecting more touches and more responsibility this season after Damien Harris left in free agency. Harris signed with the Bills in March.
“Damien is out of here now, so I’m kind of the guy,” Stevenson said Tuesday, after the Patriots’ OTA session. “I’m just trying to make sure I’m ready for the end of the season this year.”
Stevenson already had a heavy workload last year with Harris sharing time in the backfield with him. Stevenson played in all 17 regular-season games during his breakout sophomore season, tallying 210 carries and 69 catches.
