He hasn’t quite been able to show just exactly what he can do at the fullback position through rookie minicamp, OTAs and minicamp, but underfed free agent fullback Monte Pottebaum certainly has the attention of Pittsburgh Steelers running backs coach Eddie Faulker.
Speaking with reporters last week following mandatory minicamp at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, Faulker said that while Pottebaum hasn’t been able to show much in limited reps, he’s looking forward to seeing “The Mullet” in action at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe when the pads come on.
“Monte’s smart; he hasn’t gotten a whole lot of reps out here, but he knows kind of his role and what the fullback role is, and when we ask him to get in there, he’s all over it,” Faulkner said to reporters, according to video via Steelers.
