Beyond Ridley, Vereen will likely compete with the versatile Danny Woodhead and veteran offseason pick-up Joseph Addai. Despite that fact, Vereen isn’t missing the opportunity to learn from the 29-year old Addai, who comes to New England after six years in Indianapolis where he contributed in a number of ways for the Colts. “Joe’s a real good dude. He’s been around the league for a while, so you can learn stuff from him on the field as well as off the field,” Vereen said. “We’ve just reached the starting point of everything that I’m able to learn from him. I’ve only been around him for a couple weeks now. The more I’m around him, the more I’m sure the whole running back group will learn.”
