Elandon Roberts: FB superstar

The New England Patriots have had their problems on offense. This last game proves just how much so.

Elandon Roberts has been playing fullback due to the crazy amount of injuries the team has dealt with. But the mantra of next man up has always been popular in New England.

The linebacker turned fullback has been doing rather well. He has become quite the blocker and Week 17 was his best game.

Roberts was the Patriots 2nd best receiver in Week 17 with one massive catch that he took 38 yards to the house for the first touchdown of his career.

These are the types of stories you end up seeing on Super Bowl videos. Hopefully, that will be the case for the Patriots.

Elandon Roberts has become an offensive stud and he might even help the team win a game or two. I didn’t imagine I would be saying that at the beginning of the season.
