Could the Patriots be looking to add a running back following James White's injury?
Of the seven players hosted for workouts Tuesday, four were running backs. Here's the complete list: RB Ryquell Armstead, DB D.J. Daniel, DB Stephen Denmark, RB Dontrell Hilliard, WR Anthony Johnson, RB Artavis Pierce and RB Ito Smith.
Smith is the most well-known of the group as he played 35 games in three seasons (2018-20) for the Falcons. He totaled 175 carries for 689 yards and six touchdowns.
Armstead played all 16 games in 2019 for Jacksonville and had 35 carries for 108 yards and caught 14 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns. He was placed on the COVID list at the beginning of last year and never got back into action.
If the Patriots do add another running back -- active roster or practice squad -- keep an eye on these players.
