At 6-foot, 250 pounds, the New England Patriots' LeGarrette Blount is one of the biggest running backs in the NFL. That doesn’t mean he’s not light on his feet, though.

Against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Blount showed off his leaping ability on a 26-yard gain – 15 of which were gained after hurdling Dolphins cornerback Byron Maxwell.

Blount rushed for 123 yards on 29 carries with one touchdown in the Patriots’ 31-24 win over the Dolphins. He was a big part of the offense after quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a shoulder injury.
