Blount ended up playing the most snaps out of any running back on the Philadelphia Eagles last year. He had the second-highest elusive rating (70.6) and he forced the most missed tackles (42) on the team. Blount has forced at least 28 missed tackles when rushing the ball and has averaged at least 2.4 yards after contact per carry every year since 2013.
LeGarrette Blount, led the #NFL for average yards after contact (3.56) in 2017.
He had the 10th most forced missed tackles (35) in the run game, but every RB who had more than him also had more carries.
He heads to Detroit with former Patriots defensive coordinator and now current Lions head coach Matt Patricia.
PFF

Blount's deal is $2M with ability to earn $2.5M more in incentives.
