Big Running Back is impressive in practice
The Patriots conducted their third practice of training camp on Saturday morning in full pads for the first time under sunny, warm skies in front of another big crowd.
The big news of the day was that running back LaGarrette Blount practiced for the first time as did DT Dominique Easley. Blount had failed his conditioning test and Easley started camp on PUP.
Blount hardly looked like a running back that couldn’t pass his conditioning run. He looks a little leaner and was running extremely well. He showed great burst off the snap.
