Yahoo Sports NFL on Lan Larison
From the article
"I felt like Lan certainly had a good performance — a gritty, tough performance tonight, and did some really good things," Vrabel said. "It is 4th-and-1, and he gets hit behind the line of scrimmage and finds a way to get the first down."
STACKED’s take
Larison earns Vrabel's praise in Patriots RB competition with 128 all-purpose yards.
Second-year back competing for the Patriots' third running back spot behind roster locks Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. Larison distinguished himself in the preseason win over Philadelphia with 128 all-purpose yards (9 carries for 33 yards, 3 receptions for 41 yards, 1 touchdown) and earned specific praise from head coach Mike Vrabel for his gritty, tough performance, including converting a 4th-and-1 by getting hit behind the line and finding the first down, and breaking tackles on third down late in the game. Vrabel singled out Larison by name when discussing the backup running back group, while competitors Jam Miller, Hassan Haskins, and JaMycal Hasty did not receive the same recognition despite having moments in the game.
