VANDERBILT
Former Vanderbilt RB Ralph Webb went undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft, but the New England Patriots quickly scooped him up as a free agent.
Now that he’s on the team, he’s not exactly high up on the depth chart, but that could change as the preseason goes on.
As you can see in the video below, Webb scored his first NFL touchdown on a nice toss play that saw him go eight yards without being touched:

The Patriots invested heavily in first-round former Georgia RB Sony Michel, but there will be plenty of carries to go around in New England.
Coach Bill Belichick loves using different backs in different situations, so if Webb continues to play well, he should see some action during the regular season, too.
One of the best SEC RB’s ever. He was under everybody’s radar, good for him. I hope the Patriots release him and he goes to a team that actually needs a RB like the Lions, Texans, Broncos, or whomever.
Same. Lions drafted Kerryon Johnson from Auburn and he looks like he’ll get plenty of carries. Texans def could use another back.
A very hard nose player.
I hope he does well.
