During the 2018 NFL draft, Seattle Seahawks GM John Schneider got a call to find out if the team is interested in trading RB Rashaad Penny. It turned out the other party was the Detroit Lions. Also, it was rare for that period for NFL teams to engage in an NBA-style trade during draft day.

And as out of the ordinary as it was, it made sense when you considered how each team had maintained its emphasis on running backs despite the dramatic shift in the NFL's attitude toward the position. In the three drafts since 2018, the Seahawks and the Lions have each used three selections in the first or second round on running backs. According to data compiled by an online bookie software, no other club has used more than one choice during this period.

The Seahawks also used second-round picks on Kenneth Walker III in 2022, Zach Charbonnet in 2023, and Penny. The Lions' streak at running back now spans two different eras. Former general manager Bob Quinn passed on Rashaad Penny but made up for it by selecting Kerryon Johnson in the second round of the 2018 draft and D'Andre Swift in the second round of the 2020 draft. The new front office of GM Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell, unconcerned with analytics or the value of running backs, drafted Jahmyr Gibbs at No. 12 overall this past spring.

As the Baltimore Ravens did with Eric DeCosta's appointment as general manager in 2019 after Ozzie Newsome's departure, the Patriots bypassed the usual NFL hiring procedure and swiftly signed Mayo. It was part of a succession plan outlined in the contract extension he signed last offseason.

Mayo makes history as the Patriots' first Black head coach. In Week 17, after the team lost to the Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Captain Deatrich Wise Jr. said that Mayo was a big reason for the defense's success.
