A true workhorse, the New England Patriots second-round running back emerged as a favorite of Bill Belichick who often praised him for his workmanlike approach to the game and the other things he has improved on since his rookie season, like picking up the blitz.

"“Yeah, Mondre just gets better every day,” Belichick said following the team’s 22-17 victory over the New York Jets back in October.  “He’s one of the guys that I’ve coached that really has shown just continuous improvement almost every day he walks into the building.  Just in every phase of the game.  This kid’s really come a long way in just every part of his game.  You mentioned some of the things in the passing game, awareness, route running, blitz pickup, recognition, getting out on fake blitzes, versus reading the different between fake blitzes and blitzes.  In the running game his patience and setting up blocks, running on the second level, stiff arm and contact balance, ball security.  You name it.”"
