Was looking at Ben mason from Mi who seemed to play FB and play dline, there's a reason we pay a fb $5 mil a year because he does what 99% of fullbacks can't. But if we can find a late round promising guy it'll relieve cap big time.

Good luck with a 6'5" fullback.

Exactly. Fullback is all about pad level and leverage. I can't even think of a good fullback that was taller than 6'3". Most of them are around 6 ft.

what's the difference between an OL pulling or lead blocking down field ?

Fullbacks go against primarily LBs. That's the difference.

It's the same reason Fred Warner will struggle at times in run fits. Being almost 6'4" is a disadvantage in the hole.

I probably played fullback more in HS than any other position. Those ISO runs are car crashes. LOW MAN WINS!

My fav FB to watch was Vonta Leach. Dude was a 6 ft, 250-lbs hammer.

Juice was unique in that he was undersized, blocked like a beast but also had the hands and route running ability of long time tight end. Guys like that are pretty rare.

Kittle doesn't have any issues blocking when lined up at FB or pulling from either side.

if we have to let Juice walk to cut cost, i have no issues with Woe
