Pats Pulpit
The NFL is heavily-slanted toward the passing game in this day and age, but that does not mean a running back cannot be of value as well. Take Rhamondre Stevenson. The New England Patriots’ top back in 2025, he is one of the most important players on the Super Bowl runner-up’s current roster, and once again projected to see a sizable workload in his sixth season in the league.
In fact, together with fellow RB TreVeyon Henderson, he might just be forming one of the top one-two tandems the league currently has to offer. We already took a deep dive into the youngster in a previous installment of our Patriots scouting reports. Now it’s time to look at the veteran.

A productive career at Centennial High School in Las Vegas was not enough for Stevenson to be rated as a college recruit, forcing him to largely fly under the radar early in his career. Due to a lack of interest from any notable schools, he had to start off at the JUCO level. However, a dominant 2018 season at Cerritos College that saw him rush for 2,111 yards and score 16 touchdowns finally put him on the map.
Stevenson ended up choosing Oklahoma over multiple other Power 5 offers. He spent two seasons as a Sooner, playing in 19 games and carrying the ball 165 times for 1,180 yards and 13 TDs; he also added 28 catches for 298 yards. While his raw production did not stand out and he was suspended for six games due to a failed drug test, he displayed NFL-caliber talent throughout his time in Norman and was eventually selected 120th overall by the Patriots in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft.
Stevenson’s career was off to a rocky start — he lost a fumble on his second career touch — but he nonetheless developed into a core member of the Patriots offense over his five seasons as a pro. In total, he has appeared in a combined 75 regular season and playoff games and as one of the most productive running backs in franchise history gained 5,367 scrimmage yards. He has 902 carries for 3,913 yards and 28 touchdowns on his résumé, as well as 202 receptions for 1,454 yards and five more scores.
His productivity also allowed him a nice payday. In June 2024, Stevenson signed a four-year, $36 million extension with the Patriots.
Strengths: At just under 6-foot-0 and 227 pounds, Stevenson is a well-built running back whose brand of football is a physical one. He plays with a...
