Michael Floyd

Floyd was supposed to help the Arizona Cardinals reach their goal of winning Super Bowl LI. Instead he will be helping the New England Patriots.  Of course, that is if he is active.

Floyd was active in the Patriots AFC Divisional Playoff victory over the Houston Texans.  He didn’t play so well.

He found himself inactive for the AFC Championship game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Some of that was due to performance.  Some of it was due to the improved health of receiver Malcolm Mitchell.

Floyd had a nice game against the Miami Dolphins at the end of the regular season.  He scored a touchdown and made a huge block for receiver Julius Edelman for another score.  That was week 17.

After week 14 against the Dolphins, Floyd was arrested for a DUI in Scottsdale and apparently showed no remorse and offered no apologies to the Cardinals.  He was waived the next day and subsequently picked up by the Patriots.
