New England Patriots in a good place with running backs for 2020

If the New England Patriots can utilize their plethora of running backs more properly moving forward, they could have one of the most versatile running attacks in the league between Sony Michel, James White, Rex Burkhead, Damien Harris, and Brandon Bolden.

Many people were under the impression the Patriots were going for a “thunder and lightning” type of running back duo with Sony Michel and Damien Harris this season (similar to Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara from two seasons ago in New Orleans). But after being drafted in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, Harris rarely saw any action during his rookie season.
