Damien Harris: Patriots' Top-10 All-Time Rusher?

FOXBORO — With the exception of his rookie season in 2019, New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has been extremely efficient.

That season Harris became was essentially a redshirt rookie, buried fifth on the depth chart behind Sony Michel, James White, Rex Burkhead, and Brandon Bolden. Since then, however, he has ascended to New England's No. 1 and proven to be one of the better running backs in the NFL.

After tallying 691 rushing yards and two touchdowns in his second season, Harris broke out in year No. 3. In fact, the 25-year-old fell just short of his first 1,000-yard season last year, finishing with 929 yards in 15 games.
