Jets may have found hidden gem at fullback in Anthony Firkser

If the New York Jets want to have success with this young offense, then they will need to focus heavily on the ground game and on short passes. Using a fullback would help a lot with that. Fortunately for them, they were able to find a talented player in Harvard fullback and tight end Anthony Firkser.

The team picked him up after the 2017 NFL Draft and since they already drafted a tight end, it seems pretty obvious that they’re going to put him at the fullback position. He would be a great fullback because he’s a tough runner, a good blocker, and a pretty good pass catcher.
