The old NFL was filled with teams that had that hard nosed and physical mentality. Whether it was on offense or defense, players did things on the field you could never dream of doing in today’s NFL. In the old NFL, there was one position that helped define a teams offense and their style of a physical, ground and pound rushing attack. The fullback.
Guys like Mike Alstott, Lorenzo Neal, Daryl Johnston, Larry Czonka, Bronko Nagurski and Vonta Leach helped define the fullback position during their respective eras. The greatest football player of all-time, Jim Brown, played fullback.
