Sony Michel is back in the AFC East, but the veteran running back did not reunite with the team that originally drafted him in 2018. Instead of rejoining the New England Patriots, Michel signed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins, as first reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Michel, 27, arrived in the NFL as a first-round draft pick out of Georgia four years ago. The 31st player to hear his name called, he went on to appear in a combined 42 regular season and playoff games for the Patriots and gain 2,689 rushing yards on 620 carries.
