Sony Michel hasn’t exactly been the Pro-Bowl running back that a first-round pick should in his first three seasons. Since his return from injured reserve prior to Week 12, it’s been Damien Harris receiving a majority of the reps as the New England Patriots’ feature back.
During Sunday’s 45-0 dismantling of the Chargers, Michel did get his fair share of touches. The former Georgia Bulldog rushed for 37 yards on 10 carries and also brought in one tough reception for 23 yards.
However, many noticed that Michel was also doing something a little different, as he was on the field for four snaps on the punt return team.
