Sony Michel had six touchdowns in the postseason his rookie year including the only one in the Super Bowl. He's been hurt a lot the last couple of seasons and we have a deep running back group. Don't pretend he's some scrub who couldn't play...

[PeanutButterAndJellyBros]

Brady made a lot of these offensive free agent receivers good receivers. Just a daily reminder for everyone.

Last season wasn’t good for him but Sony was a top 15 RB in both 2018 and 2019 which is impressive for a team that mainly passed. His runs definitely helped Pats win SB53. Really feel like people need to stop downplaying him 🤷‍♂️

If any other coach traded their 4th year first round pick away for a couple of late round picks, these so-called NFL experts would be saying how horrible that coach is.

[mattyice]

Michel was actually decent. Drafting Garrapollo for me is a head scratcher, same reason why Aaron Rodgers is mad they drafted Jordan Love

[bambam]

Sony Michel was a beast coming out of Georgia. It’s easy to talk bad about him now and that’s lame!

[locojet]

Sony Michel was an average running back for the Patriots and can easily be replaced(plus the PATS have a bunch of Running backs on their roster who are showing more potential then Sony)

[mrslapside]

Sony’s catching got better but rbs are stacked for pats right now

[koomaappa]

It's so embarrassing when you're on ESPN completely unprepared & unaware of what's actually going on. No wonder SAS wanted this flyweight off First Take.

[topsykretts]

What's the point of restructuring your contract if management isn't going to even use that extra money on talent that'll help you win? Max is spot on. That's why people cant knock Rodgers for not restructuring his contract with the Packers. They're not even going to spend the extra money that well.

[dipsetkory]

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out Max lmao

[brandondillman]

The Patriots are so bad at drafting in the 1st round. It's been almost a decade since they got 1 right.

[RandomUser]

What does Sony Michel do well exactly?

Sony Michel has had two 900+ yard rushing season. In 2020, he rushed for 449 yards with a very healthy 5.7 yards per run.

[dantelove]

This man is beyond blasphemous he did plenty his first two years were amazing

[bradythagoatt]

Belichick is a terrible GM especially when it comes to drafting

[mvdestro]

I agree with Max that Brady left bc they didn’t have enough for Tom, but don’t think Michel is the best example, he’s also on his last year of contract, Damien Harris is the starter, they still have James white & Stevenson looks good, so the Patriots didn’t need him, and got back a good return for an expendable player, it’s stupid to compare the draft capital they gave up for him, yes he was a 1st rd pick who helped them win Brady’s last SB in New England. If Sony Michel was as good as Dalvin Cook they’d resign him but he isn’t still a solid RB, but 0 chance he was part of New England’s long term plan

[InvestBetter.]

Not a Max fan, but he is right about Michel, Bill and The Patriots
Sony Michel is an STPer. A Small Time Player

[dopeascopebrother]

What did max say that was wrong? Any pats fan will tell u bill hasnt drafted well last few years. Sony michel, nkeal harry , the 2 tight ends from the 2020 draft. Defense and o-lineman seem to always hit. Skill positions like rb, wr, and te have all been busts. Thats why they had to spend 150 mill in free agency. This years rookie class looks solid though

[milanmilanov]

Max is evidence why abortion should be legal ...

[stevencastellanos]

Harris is just the better back. We have 6 with Bolden. Belichick sent him to the Rams because he likes both McVay and Sony. We also sent an airplane full of supplies to Michel's parents country of Haiti
