If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the video from last night’s Oregon vs. Boise State where LeGarrette Blount sucker punches Byron Hout.
Kind of ironic that this game began with a pre-game handshake which was to represent good sportsmanship in this college football season. Absolutely crazy. In my opinion this dude should be suspended for at least a couple of games…
Just to close the loop here. Legarrette Blount has been suspended for the entire season (including any post season bowl game). Blount is a senior so this decision essentially ends his career. I can’t see him latching on to an NFL team after this. He’s the type of player that really needed a good senior season to get him onto an NFL roster. What surprises me most is that Oregon is going to keep him on scholarship. You hate to see this type of thing but if you ask me he got what he deserved.
Update – at the end of the day, this event didn’t affect him at all. GRR.
Not selected in the 2010 NFL draft, he began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent.
Blount achieved his greatest success during his four nonconsecutive seasons with the New England Patriots, where he won two Super Bowl titles and led the league in rushing touchdowns during the 2016 season. Following his victories for New England in Super Bowl XLIX and Super Bowl LI, Blount was part of the Philadelphia Eagles team that won Super Bowl LII, making him one of six players to have consecutive Super Bowl titles for different franchises. He scored 11 playoff rushing touchdowns, which are tied for the sixth-most in NFL history.
