Patriots add former LSU running back Jeremy Hill

After spending the first four seasons of his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, former LSU running back Jeremy Hill is moving on after reportedly agreeing to a deal with the New England Patriots on Friday.

A second-round pick in 2014, Hill ran for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns as a rookie and averaged 816 yards with 10 touchdowns over the next two seasons. The Baton Rouge native lost playing time in Cincy last year to rookie Joe Mixon.

With the free agent departure of Dion Lewis, New England provides Hill a chance to kick start his career again with a perennial title contender.
