Happy to have you on the squad, @LG_Blount ! 🦅#FlyEaglesFly

The @Eagles were one of the worst teams last season in short yardage situations. @LG_Blount had NFL's highest yds/carry on 3rd/4th-and-short pic.twitter.com/SBwsAMbApF

Blount is an underrated back. Finally got some attention last year. Terrific bulldozer. You know they're running when he's out there, though

Blount was excellent on 3rd- and 4th-and 1 or 2 last year: pic.twitter.com/zbHSKkYWkV
