Two-time Super Bowl-winning running back LeGarrette Blount has signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
The 30-year-old was a free agent following his release from the New England Patriots, the reigning Super Bowl champions.
The hard-hitting 250lb running-back arrives in Philadelphia on the back of the most successful season of his seven-year career in the NFL, which saw him finish with 1,161 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns.

Blount will join the long list of running-back's available to Head Coach Doug Pederson, with Ryan Mathews, Wendell Smallwood, and Darren Sproles already on the roster.
