Expected to receive heavy workload in season opener vs. Seattle due to TreVeyon Henderson's ankle injury; coming off self-described best training camp of his career; should face light boxes against Seahawks' two-high safety coverages; will handle passing-game opportunities due to elite pass-protection ability, which head coach Mike Vrabel emphasized as his most appreciated trait; Patriots forced into drop-back passing game in Super Bowl LX (13 rushing attempts, 42 yards) and cannot repeat that approach.PositiveRoleSep 9, 2026

Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to take possession of the RB1 role for the Patriots in his sixth season, with Treveyon Henderson behind him.
