New England Patriots’ Elandon Roberts scores receiving touchdown

The lack of weapons on the New England Patriots offense has resulted in the team using their middle linebacker Elandon Roberts on the offensive side of the ball in multiple ways.

It’s not uncommon to see defensive players be used on offense up in Foxborough. Over the years, we’ve seen the New England Patriots use veteran linebackers like Mike Vrabel as a tight end in the red zone. It gives the team an extra strong body to use in run protection or even in the passing game.

Due to a handful of injuries, the Patriots have been without a true fullback all season long.
