"For one reason or another, Antonio Gibson always finds a way to make plays. Be it in the run game or on special teams, he's found a way to stay relevant despite a new coaching staff. Rhamondre Stevenson's fumbling issues have persisted, but he's at least back to the 4.0 yards per carry mark, and he had a career high 88 receiving yards in Week 2."
"Enter Gibson, who has been a productive player through a season and four games in New England. He rushed for only 538 yards last year, but had 4.5 yards per carry and 23 catches. He had some nice kick returns in the preseason and was able to parlay that momentum into a kick return touchdown in Week 2 against the Dolphins to regain a Patriots lead. He's had just 19 carries for 85 yards this year."
The New England Patriots added notable veterans including Milton Williams (team's highest-paid player), Carlton Davis, Robert Spillane, and veteran tackle Morgan Moses while drafting Will Campbell and offensive players in rounds two and three. The team sits at 2-2 but has shown early relevance not seen in recent years. Several unexpected players have become contributors through the first four weeks. Running back and kick returner Antonio Gibson has produced in both phases, scoring a kick return touchdown and seeing increased carries. Rhamondre Stevenson has improved to 4.0 yards per carry but continues to struggle with fumbling. Rookie TreyVeon Henderson has underperformed as RB2.
