New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is already making a good impression on his coaches. The fourth-round draft pick garnered some big praise from running backs coach Ivan Fears on Thursday.
Comparing Stevenson to former Patriots bruising running back LeGarrette Blount, Fears broke down exactly what Stephenson bring to the table.
Stevenson has made the Blount connection already by saying he likes to channel the big back’s physical running style. Now, it’s becoming very evident that his coaches see it as well. With a fair amount of depth in the running back room, Fears was not about to put a specific role on the running back.
