Why James White believes that Rhamondre Stevenson can follow breakout season with a stronger 2023

Rhamondre Stevenson had a standout season in 2022. James White thinks he can have an even bigger season in 2023.

In an interview with ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the former Patriots running back compared New England’s backfield situation to the time shortly before he joined the team in 2014, saying he feels like there’s a “transition there now.”

That transition, which saw the departure of Damien Harris plus the signing and releasing of James Robinson this offseason, has led to Stevenson being the clear-cut No. 1 running back on the Patriots’ depth chart. After Stevenson shouldered a lot of the burden out of the backfield for a good chunk of last season, White thinks the third-year running back has a prime opportunity ahead of him.
