LeGarrette Blount’s Bold Move: From Steelers to Super Bowl Glory
Ten years ago, LeGarrette Blount walked away from the Steelers and found success with the Patriots, winning a Super Bowl.

Pittsburgh: So, you remember when De’Vondre Campbell just walked off the field? Yeah, he’s not the first to do that. Just a couple of weeks ago, Ravens receiver Diontae Johnson did the same thing against the Eagles and got suspended for it.
But let’s rewind to ten years ago. LeGarrette Blount, who was with the Steelers back then, pulled a similar stunt. He walked off during a game and got cut the next day. Talk about a dramatic exit!
But here’s the kicker: Blount ended up with the Patriots and won a Super Bowl. He even scored three touchdowns in that infamous #DeflateGate game against the Colts. Not too shabby, right?
Blount later said he was frustrated because the offensive coordinator, Todd Haley, wasn’t giving him any playing time. He felt disrespected after asking why he wasn’t on the field and getting no real answers.
He left during victory formation, which is pretty bold. But hey, he got what he wanted in the end.
Now, Campbell hasn’t shared his side yet, and with everyone being more aware of player mental health these days, it’s worth hearing him out before jumping to conclusions. Maybe there’s more to his story than meets the eye.
It’s easy to label someone as a traitor, but let’s give him a chance to explain. Sometimes things aren’t what they seem, and it’s good to keep an open mind.
