both suffered injuries. So Elliott helps that in a big way. But just as important, he brings what the Patriots lack at the position.Even if Elliott is no longer the same back who rushed for more than 1,600 yards as a rookie, he remains a very good short-yardage back. He ranked fifth last season in the percent of his carries that went for zero or negative yards, and seventh among running backs at third down conversions . — The Patriots remain very high on Stevenson. This doesn’t change that.
Instead, Elliott was eyed by the Patriots as a complement to Stevenson. Elliott is good in pass protection and short-yardage situations. And after Stevenson wore down amid a large workload at the end of last season, the Pats now have someone they can trust to occasionally spell Stevenson. —Dallas selected Elliott at No. 4 in the 2016 NFL Draft. He exploded to a first-team All-Pro season in his rookie year. He’s led the league in carries and rushing twice .
But he’s only eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark once in the last three seasons, barely doing so with 1,002 yards in 2021. He has still been a scorer with 22 TD rushes over the past two seasons.
