Rhamondre Stevenson Placed On NFI List
3 years agoNew England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson (undisclosed) was placed on the active Non-Football Injury list on Wednesday, meaning that he is not cleared for practice ahead of training camp. However, Stevenson, who was drafted in the fourth round, can come off the NFI list at any time. Stevenson impressed as a pass-catcher during offseason workouts and has been compared to LeGarrette Blount because of his hard-charging running style at 227 pounds. Hopefully he's not sitting out of practice for long, since rookies need all the learning and development they can get. The Oklahoma product is worth a dynasty stash in the later rounds, but it's unlikely he'll have a ton of redraft appeal in a crowded backfield that includes Damien Harris, Sony Michel, James White, J.J. Taylor and Brandon Bolden.
