Storylines

Rhamondre Stevenson grades out as NE's best

Rhamondre Stevenson (RB) sits at 77 out of 100 for 2025 — a percentile against every other player at that position, built from charted performance rather than raw totals.

Where They Stand

16th overall, 57.5 out of 100: above average. Results say 54, the units say 39. That gap is why they sit where they do rather than higher: the record is better than the underlying play. The pass rush is the hole, graded 22 — bottom of the league by percentile. They have moved down 3 from 13th since the last update. Their last three: L 10-13 at Seattle Seahawks, W 38-10 vs Miami Dolphins, W 42-10 at New York Jets. Head coach Mike Vrabel is 0-1 this season, 2.4 points below what this roster's own grades predict — the team is underperforming its talent.

The projection has them on the outside more often than in, qualifying 30% of the time. The median season is 7.8-9.2, with the division won 7% of the time.

Written from this club's own stored numbers — its Power Rating and the parts that make it up, its last five games, its division, its remaining schedule and its depth chart. Which facts appear depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. Deterministic, not written by a language model: the site builds where no local model exists and cloud inference is ruled out.
