FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Everyone, including New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, was stumped.
The question was about running back LeGarrette Blount, who is having the best season of his seven-year NFL career, entering Week 14 ranking fifth in the NFL in rushing yards (957) and No. 1 in rushing touchdowns (13). If Blount scores a rushing touchdown Monday night against the stingy Baltimore Ravens (ESPN, 8:30 p.m. ET), he will tie Curtis Martin’s single-season Patriots record (set in 1996).
So, in terms of playing style, who does the 6-foot, 250-pound Blount remind Brady, head coach Bill Belichick and others of?
