Don’t tell Pittsburgh Steelers fullback Roosevelt Nix that the position he plays is meaningless. Sure, he may have only played 150 total snaps on offense during the 2015 season, but his presence sure was noticeable during that limited playing time.
When Nix was on the field last season, the Steelers offense averaged 5.08 yards per rush. Additionally, 5 rushing touchdowns took place when Nix was on the field last season. To further show his value, of the 14 explosive running plays that gained 20 or more yards by the Steelers running backs last season, Nix was on the field for 9 of them.
