Last night and today the Pittsburgh Steelers used C Kendrick Green at fullback, something that has been receiving plenty of attention from Steelers fans. A big, 300-plus pound fullback creating holes for RB Najee Harris is certainly the sight to see, and today head coach Mike Tomlin said the idea came to him last season as the team was preparing to play the Baltimore Ravens and 6-foot-3, 305-pound fullback Patrick Ricard.
“We really discovered it late last season in preparation for Baltimore when he was representing that big fullback for them,” Tomlin said in his post practice press conference which Jeff Hathhorn posted to Twitter.
