Elandon Roberts Gives NSFW Description Of His Fullback Skills

Elandon Roberts is pretty serious about his game with the New England Patriots. The veteran linebacker has been one of the team’s hardest-hitting players since he joined the NFL in 2016. He fitted these abilities into his role as the Patriots’ fill-in fullback.

Roberts logged a career-high 21 snaps as a lead blocker in the 24-17 win over the Buffalo Bills at Gillette Stadium. He shared an iconic quote about doing his thing on both sides of the ball.

“I run through a mother(expletive)’s face,” he said at his locker postgame. “Offense, defense, special teams — whatever you want. I think that’s why Bill (Belichick) likes me. Y’all should ask Bill.”

Roberts knows that head coach Bill Belichick likes him a lot.

“Because sometimes, I hit people, and he don’t tell me nothing, but he just gives me a little grin,” he said. “And then I walk by him, and he don’t say nothing. I think I’m the only person in practice he won’t say (expletive) to, like, (among) the starters. … He don’t ever tell me nothing, so he must like me.”

Roberts saw some action on several of New England’s biggest running plays Saturday, including Rex Burkhead’s game-winning 1-yard carry with just five minutes left of the game. He is nothing like the injured James Develin, he fits well in the position and contributes to some of the Patriots’ best rushing performances of the regular season.

New England’s ball-carriers had 143 rushing yards on 31 carries against the Bills, including a season-high 96 for lead back Sony Michel.

“Ain’t nobody coming downhill like (our linebackers),” Roberts said. “Ain’t nobody coming downhill like (Dont’a) Hightower, Jamie (Collins), me, (Ja’Whaun Bentley) — nobody. So if they want to stop getting their pressure, they can come downhill. And if they don’t come downhill, I’m going to hit them in their mother(expletive) mouth. That’s my job.”

Despite the tough offensive workload, linebacker is still his biggest love. According to Roberts, even the best blocks can’t match the excitement brought by a sharp tackle.

“A tackle, hell yeah. Because when you’re blocking people, (fans) don’t even say, ‘Oooh.’ They look at Sony running through the hole and cheer for Sony. But when I hit a mother(expletive) on defense, (expletive) is violent.”
