Texans fullback Jay Prosch relishes human battering-ram role

With a blockish build honed in the weight room and a background as an all-state offensive lineman and linebacker growing up in Alabama, Jay Prosch was practically born to be a fullback.

Prosch bench pressed and power cleaned over 400 pounds and squatted 615 pounds in high school. He loves to get into collisions. Every year, the 6-1, 256-pound former Auburn standout gets bigger, stronger and more adept at using his body like a human battering ram.

Prosch is part of a rare breed in the shrinking fraternity of NFL fullbacks as the Texans are the only AFC South division team to utilize one.
