Former Auburn RB Corey Grant torched the New England Patriots on Thursday night.
What starts as a simple run up the middle turns into a 79-yard touchdown run when Grant finds the open space and turns on the jets, blazing past the New England defenders. The coach’s reaction at 0:21 in the video below says it all if you’re a Pats fan.

Grant was part of Jacksonville’s committee approach at running back alongside Chris Ivory and former Alabam RB T.J. Yeldon. With Leonard Fournette now part of Jacksonville’s backfield, one Jags writer has speculated a strong showing from Grant could potentially lead to Yeldon being the odd man out.
