Watch Jonas Gray run 55 yards for the Patriots’ first touchdown of the 2015 preseason
Jonas Gray may have added another athletic ability during the offseason: Distance running.
The 225-pound running back scored the Patriots’ first touchdown of the 2015 preseason with a 55-yard burst against the Packers on Thursday night. The extended dash — aided by effective blocking from his teammates — was longer than any regular-season run of his career.

Entering his second season with the Patriots, Gray arrived at training camp 10 pounds lighter than he was during the 2014 campaign, according to Ben Volin of The Boston Globe. The relatively svelte rusher converted a two-point conversion after his touchdown to stake the Patriots to a 8-3 lead over the Packers early in the second quarter at Gillette Stadium.
