In a strong performance during the Patriots' Week 1 upset victory over the Bengals, Rhamondre Stevenson showcased his skills as a workhorse running back. He rushed for 120 yards and a touchdown while also contributing in the passing game. Stevenson's performance indicates a promising start to the season under new head coach Jerod Mayo, who seems to favor a traditional running game. With a leaner physique this year, Stevenson appears poised to take on a significant role in the Patriots' offense.
