Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson missing workouts Mon May 19, 12:23 AM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (personal) has been absent from recent voluntary offseason workouts while he deals with personal matters.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson's father, Robert, passed away in March at age 54. Stevenson also lost his childhood friend, Brandan Harley, last season. Understanding that Stevenson has experienced sudden and heartbreaking losses in a short period of time, teammates privately say they hope to provide him with as much support as possible once he starts spending more time at the facility. Meanwhile, his recent absences during the voluntary offseason program might explain why the team signed veteran Trayveon Williams to a one-year deal on Wednesday, adding another layer of depth to better evenly distribute some of the work. |

Link to story Patriots | Teammate: Drake Maye More Confident Heading Into Year 2 Tue May 13, 03:03 PM
After selecting Drake Maye at No. 3 overall last year, the Patriots have provided the young quarterback with a new head coach, offensive coordinator, and weapons to help his success in 2025. However, one of New England's veteran receivers has been with the club for several years and has noticed a difference in Maye during the offseason program. "The confidence is there, maybe even more confidence," receiver Kendrick Bourne said on Tuesday. "He's just -- obviously, he's gonna be in a new system. So I think he's in that process. He's learning. But the confidence is there. Drake is a competitor."
| Footballguys view: Maye was one of few standout performers for the Patriots last season, completing 66.6 percent of passes for 2,276 yards with 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while adding 421 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. This year, Maye is learning a system that Bourne is already comfortable in with offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels returning. Bourne had the best season of his career in his lone year under McDaniels when he caught 55 passes for 800 yards with five touchdowns in 2021. Having a receiver who can help him get up to speed will benefit Maye, who is being drafted as QB15 in Round 10 in early best-ball drafts. |

Link to story Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson on field Saturday Sat May 10, 04:33 PM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (undisclosed) participated in practice Saturday, May 10, after missing practice Friday, May 9, because of an undisclosed reason.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today's Danny Jaillet noted, there's hope that Henderson could either push Rhamondre Stevenson for the top running back job or serve as a strong complementary option. His explosive running style and pass-blocking abilities are two of his biggest assets. He has also shown exceptional receiving skills. Jaillet added the home-run potential is evident every time Henderson has the ball in his hands. So it'll fall on the Patriots to get him involved as much as possible on offense. We expect that to happen. Henderson is RB27 on the Footballguys 2025 Projections. Stevenson is RB38. |

Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Kyle Williams is a quick receiver with speed to flip the field on any catch. He'll have a chance to become a favorite target for QB Drake Maye this year. Williams begins his pro career as the no.3 receiver on the depth chart behind Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas. |
