Though Rhamondre Stevenson is new to New England, he’s already well-versed in the running backs that have come through Gillette Stadium before him.
“I’m pretty familiar with the history of the running backs that the Patriots have,” Stevenson said on his introductory conference call. “One that comes to mind is LeGarrette Blount. I love his game. I just love how north and south of a runner he was. I know J.J. Taylor and Sony Michel, not personally but I watch their game, respect their game to the fullest. So I’m just glad to be in that room with them.”
