Training Camp Preview: Running Backs

The Patriots enter training camp with multiple storylines at the running back position, both in terms of usage and how many backs they'll keep on the initial 53-man roster.

Along with holdovers Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson, New England invested the 38th overall pick in last April's draft in explosive RB TreVeyon Henderson. The Ohio State product is a big-play threat whenever he touches the ball, with 4.43-second speed that passed the eye test during the spring. There's definite excitement about what Henderson can bring to the Pats offense. He has big-play potential, great short-area quickness to jump-cut around tacklers and separate at the top of routes, and was a high-end pass blocker at Ohio State.
