Rex Burkhead 2018 Outlook
As NFL.com's Chris Wesseling put it, "Good luck dissecting the Patriots' backfield pecking order now that Dion Lewis is in Tennessee. ..." Wesseling went on to note that New England's first-round investment in Sony Michel indicates the rookie will be featured immediately, but he'll have plenty of competition from passing-down specialist James White, jack-of-all-trades Burkhead, holdover Mike Gillislee and former Bengals power back Jeremy Hill. Remember, however; it wasn't until Burkhead sprained his knee in early December last season that Lewis finally wrested control of the backfield. Now that Burkhead is healthy again, running backs coach Ivan Fears has high expectations for 2018. "Rex is something special," Fears said. "I like him. ..." Burkhead managed to find the end zone eight times in just 10 games last season, averaging a respectable 5.5 yards per touch. Even after he was rewarded with a new three-year contract in March, don’t automatically expect Burkhead to be the lead man in this committee. HC Bill Belichick and play-caller Josh McDaniels tend to divvy up backfield responsibilities based upon that week's matchup and the hot hand. It's easy to imagine a committee attack led by Michel, with White entering in obvious passing situations and Burkhead utilized as a versatile red-zone weapon.

Rex Burkhead 2017 Outlook
Signed away from the Bengals, Burkhead becomes the first Patriots running back since 2010 to earn more than $2 million in a season. The versatile former Nebraska star is a particular favorite of Browns HC Hue Jackson, who was Burkhead's position coach (2013) and offensive coordinator (2014-15) in Cincinnati. Jackson raved about Burkhead's potential in New England. "He's going to get his opportunity now, and he's going to flourish," Jackson said. "He's very versatile because he's a good runner, a good pass-catcher. He's a good blocker. He's very bright. He's been a sensational special teams player there so he brings a lot of different elements to that football team." And as NFL.com noted, over the past two decades, we've learned to never underestimate Bill Belichick's ability to identify hidden gems, exploiting "less populated" talent pools. With only 121 career touches (87 rushing attempts, 74 of which came last season, and 34 receptions) in his four seasons, Burkhead is still somewhat of an unknown commodity who has shown flashes when given the opportunity. Given that, his presence in such a productive offense is worth keeping track of this summer.
