Over the course of the last eight years, fullback James Develin has developed an integral role in the New England Patriots offense as a key goal line weapon and run blocker.
During the Patriots run to their sixth Super Bowl championship in 2018, Develin set career highs in touchdowns and receptions.
Develin also provided key blocks for the Patriots rushing attack in the playoffs, most notably the AFC Championship victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Over his eight year NFL career, Develin has started all 16 regular games five times, but in 2010, Develin’s NFL future was far from a guarantee.
