Mike Gillislee has the potential to make the New England Patriots forget about LeGarrette Blount's franchise-record 18 rushing touchdowns in 2016 real quick.
The first-year Patriot is in prime position to see the majority of the team's workload in the backfield filling the role left by the now Philadelphia Eagle.
Gillislee will serve as the Patriots' physical runner taking goal-line and short yardage situations almost exclusively, while also getting a good chunk of carries on first and second down.
While consistency may be an issue for Gillislee in terms of his production, that most likely will speak more to how the Patriots operate the backfield rather than how the former Buffalo Bills back is playing.
