Sony Michel, performing as “FlyGuy2Stackz,” posted a sample cut of a new original rap song on his Instagram, along with video highlights of his season.

Rookie Patriots running back Sony Michel just had one hell of a season.

After finishing the regular season with 931 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards, and six touchdowns, Michel enjoyed one of the most productive postseasons for a Patriots running back in NFL history. Across three straight wins, he racked up 336 yards on 71 attempts with an additional six touchdowns, finishing the playoffs with a rushing average of 4.7 yards per attempt.

And if all that weren’t impressive enough, he also set the league record for most playoff rushing touchdowns by a rookie back – and he did it in the AFC Championship Game. That extra touchdown in the Super Bowl against the L.A. Rams was just icing on the cake.

By any conceivable metric, Michel’s first season was a resounding success. The sky’s the limit for the bruising runner out of the University of Georgia, and Patriots fans are already salivating about what he’ll do for an encore next season.

In the meantime, Michel’s stayed busy during the early going of the offseason. He appeared alongside Kyle Van Noy in a taped interview with Max Kellerman on ESPN’s “First Take,” rubbing salt in the wound for Patriots-haters everywhere (Kellerman most of all). And on Tuesday, he posted a new video to his Instagram account that surprised fans and showed off the more artistic side of his talents.

The video plays like a highlight reel of Michel’s many terrific plays during the 2018 season; but it’s the music track in the background that’s generating most of the buzz. The rapper you hear on the video is none other than Michel himself, performing under his music name FlyGuy2Stackz. It’s a short sample, meant more to elicit excitement about the forthcoming full track than anything else, but it’s actually surprisingly well-produced and executed for a football player.

According to Angelique Fiske of Patriots.com, Michel has been rapping as a hobby since his college days at UGA. Some of his music is available to stream already on Spotify, and there’s a good chance we could be seeing more of his work in the coming months before offseason activities and training camp get underway.

After getting a glimpse at this other side of No. 26, fans must be left wondering if there’s anything the multitalented Michel can’t do?
