Lorenzo Taliaferro was a battering ram as a running back during his rookie season in 2014. Now he’ll be a battering ram for the running back.
Taliaferro is making the switch to fullback this offseason in hopes of filling the void left by the departure of Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszczyk in free agency.
It’s a move that makes sense for multiple reasons. Most importantly for Taliaferro, it’s a fresh start after three frustrating seasons to kick off his career.
It would have been tough for Taliaferro to make the team at running back this season considering the team already has last year’s leader, Terrance West, up-and-coming talent Kenneth Dixon and veteran playmaker Danny Woodhead.
