Running back Montee Ball’s 2015 season didn’t unfold the way he planned, but he isn’t complaining about where he finds himself in December.

Ball was Denver’s second-round pick in 2013, but that didn’t help him make the team out of training camp this summer. Ball said it was “shocking” to get cut by the Broncos and he remained unemployed all season until the Patriots signed him to their practice squad this week. Ball said he “cannot complain at all” about being a member of the team and that he won’t complain about anything they ask him to do on the field.

“Wherever they want me, wherever they need me; I’m not in a position anymore to where I can say where I want to do, or what I want to do, or where I want to be,” Ball said, via ESPN.com. “It’s wherever they want to put me. Whenever my number is called, I’m going to do what I can.”

With LeGarrette Blount hitting injured reserve this week, the Patriots currently have two running backs on the 53-man roster so Ball could find his way into the lineup if the team decides Brandon Bolden and James White aren’t enough in the backfield. Ball feels he has “fresh legs” after not working all season and we’ll see in the next few weeks if the Patriots think they would make a worthwhile addition to their offensive attack.
