The list of New England Patriots players who plan on skipping the team's expected visit to the White House is getting bigger by the day.

Running back LeGarrette Blount is the latest to add his name to the list, telling the host of "The Rich Eisen Show" he doesn't feel comfortable attending.

"I will not be going to the White House," Blount said. "I don't feel welcome in that house. I'll leave it at that."

Devin McCourty, Martellus Bennett, Dont'a Hightower, and Chris Long have all previously stated they won't visit President Donald Trump.

Despite Bill Belichick and Tom Brady's friendship with Trump, it sounds like the Patriots' visit could have the worst attendance in recent memory.
