Former Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount calls it a career.
Some guys are just built differently. When the Philadelphia Eagles acquired LeGarrette Blount on May 17th of 2017, the reaction was a mixed one. Some thought it was a slam dunk, that Howie Roseman had given the Birds something the franchise’s offense had often lacked, a sledgehammer at tailback. Others thought it was an unwise move.
One year prior, Blount, a guy that played football’s most punishing position, won a Super Bowl with the mighty New England Patriots.
