Jeremy Hill must recapture the magic of his rookie season

lsu football report tigersThe Patriots missed having LeGarrette Blount by the goal line as his replacement, Mike Gillislee, was a healthy scratch by the end of the season.

From 2014-16, Hill tied with Blount with 29 rushing touchdowns, the most in the NFL over that span, and his 3,225 yards from scrimmage ranked 9th in the league.
