Scoring potential fullback combine drills

The fullback is truly not a tight end, not a running back, nor an offensive lineman. But at times, they will play like each of the three.  The same characteristics making the position difficult to fill on the roster, are the very reasons why defenses struggle to defend the position.  The player is often too big to be defended by a defensive back, too strong to be defending by the faster/lighter edge and pass-coverage linebackers, and too fast and agile to be defending by defensive linemen.
