Running back LeGarrette Blount landed with the New England Patriots after being bounced by the Pittsburgh Steelers during the 2014 season. Even though he didn’t play with the Super Bowl winning team for most 2014 season, Blount is still technically a Super Bowl champion.
He also helped the Patriots to the AFC title by putting up 148 yards and three scores in the conference championship game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Apparently, Blount’s time riding the bench in Pittsburgh got this trolls attention.

Schooling the troller, Blount decided to go for the low-blow of calling out how few Twitter followers he has.

If Blount didn’t have a nickname before he proclaimed one for himself on Twitter, I am pretty sure he now has one.
At least, one guy came to Blount’s defense.
@LG_Blount why you not addressing these people that you were the starter not riding the bench. You're an elite RB in the league

When are athletes going to learn not to engage social media trolls? At the very least, this interaction was one-sided and entertaining.
