With the Patriots offense in a state of flux this offseason, there are questions about whose playing time will increase now that Aaron Hernandez is no longer on the team.
ESPN's Field Yates, a former Patriots intern, suggests Shane Vereen could see the biggest bump in playing time as a versatile weapon who could line up all over the field and contribute as a rusher and as a receiver. Vereen played sparingly as a receiver last year but did have some good plays when he wasn't used as a traditional running back.
Yates even went on to hint the Pats could use Vereen much like the Vikings used Percy Harvin and the Packers used Randall Cobb.
