Patriots running back Shane Vereen received plenty of run in Friday's preseason game against the Buccaneers, and he showcased his solid all-around game.
Vereen rushed the ball four times for 29 yards and was even better in the passing game. He was targeted six times and brought in four receptions for 46 yards, with a long of 18 games.
Vereen is expected to be the No. 2 running back, but should provide a solid change of pace in passing downs.
