Welcome to the NFL, Sony Michel.

At the 13:43 mark in the fourth quarter in what is shaping out to be a Patriots blowout over the Miami Dolphins, the running back was able to taste an NFL end zone for the first time in his professional career. Michel took the toss from Tom Brady and was able to scamper for 10-yards and put the Patriots up, 38-0.

On the day the rookie has rushed 25 times for 112 yards and that score. In a rather interesting twist of fate, Michel is the first Patriots rookie to rush for 100 yards since Brandon Bolden did it exactly six years ago today. Bolden, of course, is making his return to New England on Sunday for the first time since signing on with the Dolphins.

The Patriots drafted Michel in the first round (No. 31 overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Georgia. The running back missed all of the preseason and the majority of training camp due to a knee injury where he underwent a procedure to drain fluid. That injury also kept him out in Week 1, but was able to make his debut in Week 2 against the Jaguars.

Up until this breakout showing against the Dolphins, Michel was pretty quiet rushing for just 84 yards and catching two passes for six yards. Michel drew criticism following his lackluster outing against the Lions, but clearly he's changing the minds of those doubters with this game today.
