Kiner arrived because New England wanted a more decisive RB3, not just camp depth. He runs with some imagination between the tackles and has special-teams utility, which gives him a realistic weekly path even in a crowded backfield.
Strengths: High motor, contact balance, lane manipulation and special-teams versatility.
Weaknesses: He must keep earning touches behind two more established backs and does not have an oversized physical profile.
