His Week 3 fumbles against the Steelers sparked questions about his ball security, with some suggesting he could be waived. Stevenson responded by changing his carrying style, earning a vote of confidence from coach Mike Vrabel, and going the rest of the season with just one fumble.
In the postseason, Stevenson has been productive, delivering 194 rushing yards across three games. He’ll be a key component for the Patriots as they attempt to crack Seattle’s defense, providing a complementary ground element alongside New England’s aerial attack.
Stevenson faced personal tragedy when his father, Robert Stevenson, died at age 54 in March 2025. The Patriots granted him time to grieve, and Stevenson has spoken about talking to his father before games, carrying his memory with him into the Super Bowl run.
To honor his father, Stevenson wears a bracelet containing his ashes, a tangible reminder he said helps him hear his dad’s voice on game days. His mother, Juran Stevenson, supported his dream by working two jobs as a lab technician, a resilience that helped Stevenson navigate a difficult path to the NFL, including time at Cerritos Junior College before Oklahoma.
Stevenson grew up in Las Vegas as one of seven siblings in a family that was not financially privileged but deeply committed to their children’s futures. He maintains a private personal life, is not publicly married, and keeps dating life off social feeds, often focusing public moments on his family and his mother’s sacrifices.
