While the traditional fullback is a dying breed of player in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers still seem to want one on the roster. While they haven’t invested in the position like they have in the past with Roosevelt Nix and Derek Watt (two players that got large deals with Pittsburgh), the want is still there.
Connor Heyward has seen some looks there (although the Steelers seem to have cooled on him) while Jonnu Smith can serve as a weapon from that spot (but not a lead blocker). They also gave a hefty signing bonus to undrafted fullback D.
