Patriots under-the-radar RB getting more reps with Drake Maye

New England Patriots running back Lan Larison appears to be pushing for the No. 3 spot behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

According to MassLive’s Mark Daniels, Larison was seen taking “a lot of reps” on Monday with Patriots quarterback Drake Maye’s unit. That bodes well for the positioning on the roster for the former UC Davis standout.

Larison showed promise during training camp last year, before ultimately going down with a season-ending injury in the preseason. During his run at UC Davis, he racked up 6,504 all-purpose yards over the course of five seasons.

He rushed for 1,465 yards and 17 touchdowns in addition to 62 catches for 847 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in his final year with the team.

Lan Larison is getting a lot of reps today with Drake Maye’s unit. He looks like the early leader for the No. 3 RB spot.

Larison could be a player to watch in training camp, especially with Terrell Jennings currently on the non-football injury list. His versatility as both a runner and a receiver at the running back position creates a solid option for the Patriots to go to when spelling their top two backs.
