Reggie GilliamRB
Free agency signing to Patriots as fullback; will be used similarly to James Develin's historical role under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Gilliam emphasized the versatility of the role: "You could be in the backfield. You could be at tight end. You could be split out. You could be anywhere in this offense." During his final season with Buffalo, he lined up in the backfield, as an inline blocker, in the slot, and split out wide, plus served as a core member of the kicking game. McDaniels showed Gilliam film of Develin's usage to illustrate the offensive approach, with Develin moving around the formation to enable different plays from the same grouping.
