Ex-Patriots Coach Issues Challenge To Rhamondre Stevenson

Rhamondre Stevenson already has established himself as one of the NFL’s best all-around running backs. In his second season with the Patriots, he racked up 1,461 all-purpose yards and six touchdowns.

The next step for the 2021 fourth-round pick, according to Ivan Fears: becoming a leader.

Fears, who retired last summer after 30 years as a coach in New England, doesn’t shy away from speaking his mind on Stevenson. During Stevenson’s rookie training camp, Fears ripped the talented running back in one of the more remarkable Patriots quotes in recent memory.
