The New England Patriots had a productive running game during the 2021 season. Led by the Damien Harris/Rhamondre Stevenson tandem, the group ended the year ranked top-eight in the NFL in volume statistics such as carries, yards and touchdowns, and in efficiency categories like EPA or DVOA.
Even with veteran receiving back James White spending most of the season on injured reserve, the group as a whole looked good. With White set to come back, and with running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery added in free agency, the group again projects as one of the best in the league heading towards the 2022 season.
