After winning their fifth Super Bowl, the New England Patriots had a very busy offseason. With a need to replace some players, the Patriots were an active team in free agency. While Stephon Gilmore was their biggest prize in this offseason in free agency, they did make some other moves that might have been more important.
Last season, LeGarrette Blount was the workhorse in the backfield for New England. When Tom Brady was suspended for the first four games of the season, the Patriots were able to rediscover their rushing attack with Blount.
Blount was able to put together a solid season for the Patriots, as he rushed for over 1,000 yards and set the single-season franchise rushing touchdown record with 18.
