@idailyathlete: LeGarrette Blount didn’t fake an injury. He didn’t argue with a coach on the sideline. He just quietly picked up his things, walked off the bench, and left the stadium entirely while the game was still being played. No explanation. No injury report. Just gone. The Steelers had seen enough. Between the arrest with Bell months earlier and now this… they cut him the very next morning without even exploring a trade. In the NFL that’s essentially a death sentence. You don’t walk out on your team mid game and expect another shot. But the Patriots signed him 24 hours later. And by the end of that same season Blount was rushing for 148 yards and three touchdowns in the AFC Championship Game before helping New England win the Super Bowl. The Steelers cut him and handed him directly to their biggest rival. It still hurts. We post the best athlete stories every day 🏆 #patriots #steelers #nfl
