3 reasons Patriots running backs could give Rams trouble during Super Bowl 53

3. Burkhead can do it all

When compared to his teammates, Rex Burkhead doesn’t always see as much action as James White and Sony Michel, but when he does get involved, the running back has proven to be just as dangerous as his teammates.

Just look at what Burkhead was able to accomplish against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship when he was able to record two rushing touchdowns for New England, one of which happened to be the game-winner in overtime to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl.

Burkhead was one of those players who joined the Patriots two years ago in free agency after the team saw something special from the running back’s previous time with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Unlike most of his teammates, Burkhead is still looking to experience what it feels like to win a Super Bowl, and when given the opportunity to get the football, the Rams know he will do his best to take advantage of the situation with the necessary production.

Whether it happens to be on the ground or through the air, Burkhead is another one of those running backs who can used in multiple ways, meaning if Los Angeles doesn’t focus their attention on him when on the football field, it could easily backfire.
