August 6, 2021

Image courtesy of Getty Images For years, the Patriots offense was centered around Tom Brady and throwing the football. Then, things shifted philosophically during the 2018 season. The emphasis was on running the football more. Bill Belichick used the team’s two first round picks in that draft on offensive tackle Isaiah Wynn and running back Sony Michel, both out of Georgia.

Patriots: Houston We Have A Problem – Watson dominates, Pats fall to 4-6

Patriots Draft: Scouting Report on RB Damien Harris

April 27, 2019

The Patriots surprisingly drafted Harris with pick 87 in the third round. On paper, the Patriots are deep at the running back position with Sony Michel, James White, Rex Burkhead and Brandon Bolden.
