New England Patriots: Pros and Cons of keeping Mike Gillislee

The 2017 season has come to an end for the New England Patriots. Even though they had a great season, they did fall short of their ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl. Last offseason, the Patriots made a lot of changes after winning the Super Bowl.

One of the notable additions for the Patriots was the signing of Mike Gillislee from the Buffalo Bills. As the backup to LeSean McCoy in 2016, Gillislee was able to have a great season. He was able to total over 500 rushing yards and have eight rushing touchdowns. As a change of pace and goal-line back for the Bills, he really thrived.
