Fullbacks are weird people. When you choose to be a fullback (or are otherwise committed to be one by a high school or college coach) you’ve chosen to run full speed directly into other people who are likely larger than you on virtually every play. As the league has leaned more heavily on passing over the last few decades, fullbacks have gone out of style, at least until recently. With the uptick in heavier offenses, fullbacks are starting to crack rosters again, and in at least one instance, a team’s fullback is on the shot list for a team’s most valuable player.
