It has been a very busy offseason for the New England Patriots after winning their fifth Super Bowl just a little over a month ago.
One of the reasons why the Patriots were able to have a successful 2016 season was because of a much-improved running game. Behind a better offensive line, the Patriots were able to have a solid running game.
When Brady was suspended the Patriots were forced to rediscover their running game. LeGarrette Blount had a very good season for them, as he set the single-season rushing touchdown record. Despite the great season, it doesn’t appear that Blount will be back with the Patriots in 2017.
