LeGarrette Blount’s jersey number at Oregon Ducks was #9.
LeGarrette Blount is a running back who made his NFL debut in 2010 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He led the NFL in rushing touchdowns with 18 as a member of the New England Patriots in 2016. He helped the Patriots win Super Bowls XLIX and LI.
Before fame, he attended East Mississippi Community College for two years and the University of Oregon for two years.
In latest buzz, LeGarrette Blount is bringing his power running to Philadelphia. The Eagles and Blount agreed on a one-year contract Wednesday, giving the team a bruising back to complement its smaller, speedy runners.
Blount led the N.F.L. with 18 rushing touchdowns last season and helped the New England Patriots win the Super Bowl. He ran for 1,161 yards, averaging 3.6 yards per carry.
“LeGarrette Blount is a tough, physical runner who has enjoyed a great deal of success in New England, and we are excited about adding him to this football team,” said Howie Roseman, the Eagles’ executive vice president for football operations. “We feel good about the depth and competition that we have created at the running back position, and we are looking forward to getting the guys out on the field next week.” Read more at New York Times.
