New England Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount is in the midst of the best season of his career. He’s picked up 957 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns, along with 31 receiving yards. His 988 yards from scrimmage trails only the 1,021 yards he generated in his rookie season. He would have more touchdowns if the Patriots handed Blount the ball on the goal line during the final drives against the Seahawks, 49ers, and Jets, instead of passing the ball or kneeling to kill the clock.
Blount’s 13 rushing touchdowns leads the NFL, his 230 rushing attempts rank 3rd, and his 957 rushing yards rank 5th.
