Former Oklahoma football running back Rhamondre Stevenson is bowling over tacklers at the next level much like he did as a Sooner.

In his NFL debut over the weekend, Stevenson rambled for 127 yards, including a 91-yard touchdown run, helping lead the New England Patriots to a 22-13 victory in Week 1 of the NFL preseason.

Stevenson, who rushed for 186 yards in his final collegiate game for Oklahoma, a 55-20 win over Florida in the Cotton Bowl last December, picked up right where he left off in college, gaining 127 yards on 10 carries in his first NFL game, an average of almost 13 yards per carry.
