Former Colt Herron Works Out for Patriots

Former Colt Herron Works Out for Patriots

Robert Alvarez

On Monday ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss first reported that the New England Patriots invited former Indianapolis Colts running back Dnaiel "Boom" Herron into Foxboro for a workout with the team.

Would be nice if we could just sign him for that game, then run him for over 200 yds against the Colts.

Sounds like the Patriots might be trying to block the Colts from getting a decent back honestly would anyone cry if we released Bolden for him?

Yeah BB just loves to dump ST aces.

His special teams value is important but taking snaps at RB eh

One of your top 3 st guys is worth far more than keeping a #4 run who would be inactive. The Colts could bring in a 24 year old Jim Brown and would lose to the Pats by 30 puts.

I will go out on a limb here.

IMHO, having an additional backup RB on the 53 (and we none on the PS), would be more valuable than our 12th defensive lineman, Thornton.

I remember he had a few good games.

In Fantasy Football (and front offices of the Redskins or Dolphins) ST aces are unimportant.

But in the game of football, ST aces actually are important.

He's only the best STer on the Patriots not named "Matt Slater".

Yeah, that would ****ing suck.

If he takes 0 snaps at RB the rest of the year, Brandon Bolden is more valuable than Boom Herron.

We don't need him ... at this time.

Boom Herron could be one of those typical types of under the radar signings. We could do much worse than a RB who has averaged 4.5 YPC with the capacity to catch out of the backfield. He likely wouldn't be active any time soon, but he may strengthen the depth.

Herron doesn't bring anything that either Cadet or Jonas Gray offered. I think BB is just kicking the tires.
