Pittsburgh Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount has claimed that he can be the perfect addition to the club's backfield to bolster their running attack in the 2014 season.
The 27-year-old had an excellent season with the New England Patriots in the 2013 campaign and is now poised to battle it out with Le'Veon Bell for a starting spot following his move to the Steelers.
"I feel like every running back in this league wants to be a starter," Blount told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "Obviously I want to start, and I knew that when I went to New England. I wasn't the starting guy.
"When I come here, I know I'm not the starting guy. But you work hard and go out there and do everything as though you are the starter.
"Sometimes it plays out that way, sometimes it doesn't. I like Le'Veon. I like his running style. He rushed for 800-plus yards and eight touchdowns as a rookie. I wouldn't mind complementing him at all."
Blount recorded 772 rushing yards and seven touchdowns for the Patriots last season.
