The New England Patriots have utilized Elandon Roberts – who is normally a linebacker – at the fullback position for their offense this season after the team has been hampered by injuries all year long.
Roberts has mainly been used as a pass blocker in the Patriots’ offense. After Saturday’s win over the Buffalo Bills, Roberts expressed his full commitment to the position in an expletive-laden postgame rant.
“To be honest, on every play, I just be like, whoever steps in my way, Imma run through their f-----n’ face. Period. Just like linebacker,” Roberts said, according to the Boston Globe. “I’m looking to make the tackle and if I can’t make the tackle and you’re in my way, Imma run through your mother----n’ face."
“Same on defense, same on offense. When a linebacker steps into the hole, Imma run through their mother------n’ face. Period. That’s all I think about, making my block, running through a mother-----r’s face.”

Patriots coach Bill Belichick praises Roberts’ development.
“You know, he started off with a couple plays and built that up a little bit,” he said, according to Boston.com. “He’s done a good job with the opportunity he’s had in there. So, we’ve been able to expand it a little bit. He’s done a solid job for us. He’s another tough, physical player that’s good to have on the field in those situations.”
