New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has been an early-down workhorse with 1,897 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns in his first four seasons of his career. Harris was selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft, but he has yet to turn into the three-down versatile back that is becoming increasingly more common as each year passes.
Harris, 25, is an incredible goal line back, but he’s in the last year of his rookie deal and is set to hit the open market at a young age with plenty of suitors. The Patriots, on the other hand, have Rhamondre Stevenson, who has been dipping into Harris’ share of touches since 2021, and by the look of things, he may have finally overtaken the former Alabama standout as the lead back, thanks to his pass-catching ability.
