Positives - Comments from FBG.com: Kevin Faulk has come up with many key plays for the Patriots over their recent years as the NFL's most dominant team, whether it was via running, catching, or returning the football. Faulk had a career high 4.7 YPC average last year and contributed to the resurgence of the Patriots' rushing game. Faulk has averaged almost three receptions per game over the past few seasons and has produced decent numbers as a change of pace, third-down, and long-yardage running back.

Negatives - Comments from FBG.com: After six years in the league, it's clear that Kevin Faulk will not become a featured back. At 5'8", 202 lbs., Faulk has not shown that he can fill the role as a full-time starter even when the Patriots tried to give him the chance. With Dillon on board, Faulk's opportunities for a steady workload are limited, and even with an injury to Dillon, Cedric Cobbs would probably get the core of the carries. Faulk missed five games last season due to personal reasons, and his on-field performance suffered because of it.
