From his Wiki page:

Rex Burkhead - Wikipedia

I had mentioned Mike Gillislee as a possible buy-low RB who fits the Pats measurables. Rex Burkhead fits them too, averaged 4.65 YPC last year and was involved in the passing game slightly (17 catches). Would be interested in an actual scouting report on the guy.

Tell me about this guy

Didn't get a chance till the end of last season when Bernard was hurt, and hill Wass banged up. He run with good decisiveness, and actually looked better than both the aforementioned.
He also is a great receiver.
Pats kinda guy.

OMG please let this happen.

8.5 YP catch also. Not sure where he's fit with Lewis/White although he's bigger than Lewis.
