Fullback Patrick DiMarco has been a big part of Atlanta's successful ground game this season, and he's getting plenty of recognition for it.
Patrick DiMarco has been exceptional this season, and people around the league are taking note.
DiMarco's been featured on three different midseason All-Pro lists so far. ESPN's John Clayton writes:
DiMarco is on the field more than any other fullback (22.8 plays a game), and his impact as a blocker has allowed Devonta Freeman to rush for 721 yards in nine games.
Khaled Elsayed of Pro Football Focus also acknowledged DiMarco as the best fullback through the first half of the season, though he points out that DiMarco's performance was stronger earlier in the season.
