Steven Jackson joins Patriots
It was announced today that the New England Patriots were adding another runner to their banged up backfield. But, it doesn’t seem to affect them too much as they just keep winning with whatever no-name guy is back there.

“It’s exciting; couldn’t ask for a better Christmas gift”, Jackson said in his first meeting with reporters Wednesday afternoon at Gillette Stadium.
Steven Jackson hasn’t played since December 2014. He rushed for 707 yards for the Falcons last season. Though Jackson couldn’t help the Falcons the way he produced with the Rams, many National Football League coaches still feel he can deliver under the Patriots’ system.
Jackson will likely be the fourth running back on the depth chart depending on if Iosefa has a bad game.
“I’m proud of the fact that all seven of those players are homegrown – they all came in as Patriots, spent their whole career as Patriots, developed as Patriots one way or another, but that’s what they all are”, he said. That being said, Jackson has lacked explosiveness in recent years, and has clearly passed over his prime seasons.

Look, Bolden is arguably one of the most prototypical Bill Belichick players on this roster. Jackson provided a strong hint that he had indeed signed a deal with the Patriots on his official Twitter account. It would seem Jackson is in position to take over as the early-down back, with James White continuing in his role on third down. Following LeGarrette Blount’s season-ending injury that landed him on the Injured Reserve list, the Patriots needed to make a move. The return of Jamie Collins has boosted the front, as has the explosion of production of first-year Patriots Jabaal Sheard and Akiem Hicks. The trio combined for 93 rushing yards.
