What It Means:

The Patriots love versatile players, and Cunningham fits the bill. A role player with passing-down and special teams value, Cunningham has 71 receptions over the past two seasons and only three drops during that span. As Cunningham was originally undrafted and received the lowest-possible tender from the Rams, Los Angeles would receive no compensation if Cunningham signed an offer sheet from New England and the Rams failed to match.

On 37 carries last season, Cunningham racked up -0.12 Rushing Net Expected Points per attempt. Among backs with at least 25 targets, he ranked 12th in Reception NEP per target.
