Why Patriots RB Devine Ozigbo turned down larger role with Jaguars

If you want a sense of the contrast between the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars, just consider the case of Devine Ozigbo.

The 25-year-old running back joined the Patriots' practice squad on Nov. 30 after being waived by the Jaguars. While he was elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills, Ozigbo didn't play a snap in Week 16 and has yet to see the field for New England.

According to ESPN's Mike Reiss, Jacksonville offered Ozigbo a spot on its active roster last week after losing starting running back James Robinson to a season-ending injury.
