Vereen was good in the role that he was in, but I'll say I was surprised he didn't take a larger role.
After all, he exploded in the playoff game against Houston in 2012. I feel like that was his coming out party. Then he runs for 100 yards in the opener in Buffalo in 2013. Unfortuantely for him he suffers a hand injury and doesn't return until later in the season. When he does return, he becomes one of Brady's favorite targets without Gronk.
In 2014 when Ridley went down I expected Vereen to have a much bigger role but instead they went to guys like Gray and Blount. His body type doesn't seem too different from Ridley, why couldn't he be a true runner?
