New England Patriots: Jeremy Hill

Joining the Patriots after all those years with the Bengals was clearly a major upgrade for Jeremy Hill since it never hurts to sign with a team that is always considered an early favorite to make a run at the Super Bowl at the start of each season. But when looking at the history of New England with their situation at running back, Hill’s job is anything but a guarantee.

As most football fans know, the Patriots are one of those teams that can take any player and make them the No. 1 running back for the offense, as Bill Belichick has a history of riding the hot hand in the backfield. By taking this approach, New England is always one of those teams that keep their opponents guessing as to which running back will finish on top each week, which could also hurt Hill’s chances of making the team.

With three or four other running backs looking to battle for playing time as well, the Patriots would be just fine without Hill around. There was a time a few years ago when Hill was considered a top running back in the league, but those days could be long gone after seeing the results of last season.
