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.
