Ranking the Buffalo Bills RBs in the AFC East entering 2022
47. . . . New England Patriots. 1. team
Running Backs: Damien Harris, Rhamondre Stevenson, James White, Pierre Strong Jr.
The team that has the best collection of running backs in the NFL has to be the New England Patriots. Damien Harris was one of the most productive in the division last year with nearly 1,000 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns.
He was joined last year by Rhamondre Stevenson, who was a fourth-round pick and had 606 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. These two helped give New England a Top 10 rushing offense and took the pressure off rookie Mac Jones.
These two will remain at the top of the depth chart but will be joined by veteran James White, who is an excellent pass-catcher out of the backfield. He missed most of last season due to an injury but prior to that 52 receptions per season and should return to being that third-down back for the Patriots.

They would also add Pierre Strong Jr. in the fourth round who was a popular sleeper in the 2022 NFL Draft and gives New England good depth at a key position for their offense. These rankings could look very different this time next year but for this season, the Patriots have the best group in the AFC East.
