"With the colder temperatures returning to the region, the importance of a strong and deep rushing attack will be vital for the continued success of Maye and the offense. Having Stevenson healthy and capable of shouldering an extensive workload may be exactly what the metaphorical doctor ordered...Having placed his early-season struggles with ball security behind him. The Oklahoma product must build upon his 101 carries for 324 yards and three touchdowns to make New England's running game a key component of their offensive game"
"The New England Patriots have risen to the top of the NFL's AFC East and the Conference by virtue of their 11-2 record. Most of the credit for that goes to their MVP candidate, Drake Maye's passing. Yet, some go to the running game, as well. Unfortunately, one former stalwart who hasn't contributed very much is 2021 fourth-round draft pick and 2022's 1000-yard rusher, Rhamondre Stevenson."
The New England Patriots sit at 11-2 and lead the AFC East and conference, driven largely by Drake Maye's passing while the running game remains important. Rhamondre Stevenson, a 2021 fourth-round pick and 2022 1,000-yard rusher, has struggled in 2024 and 2025 and was a trade candidate last offseason. Stevenson currently has 101 carries for 324 yards and three touchdowns and must build on that production to strengthen the rushing attack. Backfield depth is thin after injuries to Antonio Gibson and Terrell Jennings, while 2025 second-round pick TreVeyon Henderson has emerged as the primary back.
