The running back (27), dismissed by the Dallas Cowboys during the offseason in a salary-cap move, had a career-low 876 rushing yards in the past campaign, but he finished with 12 TDs.
New England needs a player like him as Pats will begin to train at full speed in the upcoming days with a crucial role n the running game.
That will be Ezekiel’s 1st free-agent visit since the Cowboys let him go.
Third-season pro-Rhamondre Stevenson is New England’s best RB, but the Patriots don’t have many elite options besides him. The organization released James Robinson last month and didn’t replace him yet.
After New England’s training camp began, veteran Ty Montgomery left with an undisclosed injury.
The only other options that the Patriots have in the RB position are the 2nd years Pierre Strong and Kevin Harris, and 3rd-year player J.J. Taylor.
