Patriots Meet with Brother of NFL RB

Running back may not immediately jump off the page as a gaping hole for the New England Patriots, but there is no doubt that they could afford to add more talent in their backfield.

The tandem of Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson was very underwhelming in 2024, and head coach Mike Vrabel has even said that the Patriots are planning to add a halfback at some point in the NFL Draft.

While there has been some speculation that New England could steal Boise State star Ashton Jeanty with the fourth overall pick, it's probably more likely that the Pats will take a running back in the middle rounds, as this upcoming class is teeming with talent at the position.

There will be plenty of halfbacks available on Days 2 and 3, and the Patriots just met with one whose brother already plays running back in the NFL: Georgia Bulldogs standout Trevor Etienne.

Etienne took to social media to post a picture outside Gillette Stadium this week, indicating that he was in Foxborough to meet with the Pats. His older brother, Travis, plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
