This time last year Philadelphia Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount was heading to the Super Bowl just like this season. Only last year he was going represent the New England Patriots backfield. After winning his second Super Bowl of his career with the Patriots, Blount’s time in New England was up.
The eight-year veteran finished out his second-stint with the Patriots and both parties decided it was time to move on. So Blount hit the free agency market with an open mind and ultimately chose Philadelphia as his destination. According to Matt Lombardo of NJ Advance Media, Blount felt like the Eagles’ needed him as much as he needed them.
