The Patriots have agreed to sign free-agent running back Antonio Gibson, a source confirmed to the Herald.

Gibson, 25, rushed for 265 yards on 65 carries with a touchdown and added 389 yards and two touchdowns on 48 catches last season with the Commanders.

The former college wide receiver has 172 career receptions for 1,283 yards with seven touchdowns in four seasons. He’s carried the ball 642 times for 2,643 yards with 22 touchdowns.

His best season came in 2021 when he carried the ball 258 times for 1,037 yards with seven touchdowns and added 42 catches for 294 yards with three touchdowns through the air.

Gibson, a 2020 third-round pick out of Memphis, is expected to split running back duties with starter Rhamondre Stevenson. Both backs are adept at running the ball and catching out of the backfield.

Gibson joins Stevenson, Kevin Harris and JaMycal Hasty on the Patriots’ current roster. The Patriots also signed Ke’Shawn Vaughn, another 2020 third-round pick, to a futures contract.

Ezekiel Elliott, who split time with Stevenson last season, is a free agent.
