LeGarrette Blount may fit best in Baltimore
The Baltimore Ravens are the "best fit" for free agent running back LeGarrette Blount, believes ESPN's Jamison Hensley.
Terrance West is first on the Ravens depth chart, followed by Danny Woodhead and Kenneth Dixon. West averages 3.9 yards per carry for his career, Woodhead projects as the passing-game back, and Dixon is suspended for the first four games of the year. They also didn't add anyone in the draft, so Blount makes sense as a possible early-down alternative. The Detroit Lions and New York Giants have also been mentioned as landing spots for the 30-year-old bruiser.
On his 299 carries last season with the New England Patriots, Blount earned 1.38 Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP). His 0.00 Rushing NEP per attempt was 18th among the 42 running backs to top 100 carries this season.
