his arrival will allow the team to find more success in heavier, two-back personnel groupings. Last season, New England averaged just 3.1 yards and a negative EPA/rush in those looks. Buffalo, meanwhile, averaged 4.9 yards per rush and nearly 9.0 yards per pass with Gilliam on the field.

Gilliam's fullback addition unlocks heavy personnel; Buffalo averaged 4.9 YPC with him.

Reggie Gilliam was added as a fullback to allow the Patriots to deploy heavier, two-back personnel groupings more effectively. Last season, New England averaged just 3.1 yards and negative EPA per rush in two-back looks; Buffalo, by contrast, averaged 4.9 yards per rush and nearly 9.0 yards per pass with Gilliam on the field. Christian Gonzalez expects Gilliam to make life easier for the whole offense despite managing his workload in camp due to past injuries.
