Hassan Haskins, a surprise addition to the New England Patriots roster, is making waves as he battles for the third running back spot — and it’s all thanks to head coach Mike Vrabel, who knows him well from their time together in Tennessee. After just joining the team last week, Haskins earned first-team reps and even got his first carries last week, showing flashes of potential. With preseason games heating up and roster spots tightening, Haskins’ familiarity with Vrabel’s system could give him the edge over Jam Miller and Lars Larison — especially if he continues to shine against the Eagles. This isn’t the first time Vrabel has brought in a former player he coached — he also traded for A.J. Brown — so expect Haskins to be a key contender for that RB3 role by training camp’s end.
