Stevenson Faces Benching Amid Ball Security Issues

Rhamondre Stevenson, running back for the New England Patriots, is facing potential benching due to fumbling in each of the team's first four games this season. Head coach Jerod Mayo has indicated that starting Antonio Gibson over Stevenson is 'definitely under consideration' as the Patriots struggle offensively with a 1-3 record. Despite Stevenson's talent and a lucrative contract extension, his ball security issues have become a significant concern, as emphasized by Mayo's principle that 'ball security is job security.' Stevenson, aware of his shortcomings, remains committed to improving his grip on the ball. The Patriots' offense, which is statistically the worst in the NFL, could see shifts in personnel as the team attempts to recover from its challenging start to the season.
