FOXBOROUGH — Sony Michel doesn’t want to get worn out.
“I hear a lot that the later the season goes on, the worse people get,’’ Michel said after practice Thursday at Gillette Stadium. “My kind of mind-set is to just build and get better and better because it’s a long season. You’re not going to be feeling good. How can you get better when you’re not feeling good?’’
Since making his NFL debut in Week 2, Michel has carried the ball 91 times for 400 rushing yards and four touchdowns.
The rookie running back has played well in his recent starts, falling just 2 yards short in Week 5 of logging a trio of consecutive 100-yard performances.
