Jalen Mills is one of the most versatile defensive players on the New England Patriots’ roster. He made the switch back to safety this season, but he has spent most of his NFL career playing at cornerback.
Surprisingly, he didn’t do much of either in the Patriots’ Week 5 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss posted a breakdown of the defensive snap count from last Sunday’s game, and Mills was listed as the player with the least snaps that wasn’t a special teams player.
It’s pretty shocking considering all of the injuries at cornerback and potential opportunities to slot him back in at safety.
