Some No. 1 running backs in the middle of their peak performing years in the NFL might have been upset if their team signed veteran Ezekiel Elliott to share the backfield.
Not Rhamondre Stevenson.
"It goes back to his Ohio State days. His versatility was unmatched to me," the 25-year-old New England Patriots running back said of his new teammate, per Mike Reiss of ESPN. "He could do it all—pass block, catch the ball, run hard, just the whole nine [yards]. And he's a bigger back, like me."
Reiss noted Stevenson and Elliott worked out together when the former was preparing for the 2021 NFL draft, so there is a familiarity in place.
