Patriots to host dynamic All-SEC running back for top-30 visit
The New England Patriots are reportedly expected to host University of Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson for a top-30 visit.
This was reported by The Draft Network’s Ryan Fowler on Monday.
Sampson was one of the most explosive running backs in college football last season. He rushed for 1,491 yards and 22 touchdowns for the Volunteers. He was named the SEC Offensive Player of the Year, along with earning First-Team All-SEC and Second-Team All-American honors.
He recorded 2,492 rushing yards and 35 rushing touchdowns in three seasons at Knoxville.

One of the premier backs in the class rushed for 1,491 yards & 22 TDs this fall for the Volunteers and recently ran 4.48 at his pro day.
Rhamondre Stevenson is still expected to be the top running back option for the Patriots, but the team could still look to fill out the depth behind him.
This is a deep draft class at the running back position, and an electric playmaker like Sampson could fit in nicely with the unit.
