Dimitri Flowers is a solid athlete who played a versatile role at Oklahoma. At 6’2" 248 pounds, he’s small for a traditional tight end, but could line up in that position in certain packages. He’s got soft hands and is a good blocker, allowing him to excel as a lead blocker coming out of the backfield. Flowers had 464 yards receiving this past year which is incredible for a fullback. Flowers will need to block less upright to play on the line as a tight end if he wants to have a big impact for an NFL team.

2017 Stats

13 games played, 464 receiving yards, 5 receiving touchdowns, 22 rushing yards, and 4 rushing touchdowns.

Donnie Ernsberger has experience playing in the role that will be asked of most NFL fullbacks: Be a tight end who occasionally lines up in the backfield. Ernsberger mostly played tight end in college, and might be big enough to play that spot at the next level (6’3", 241 pounds). He has great hands for a fullback, and is improving as a blocker. He accelerates into his blocks which is great when blocking out of the backfield, but will lead to some whiffs in pass blocking. His versatility and size for the position will give him a shot at the NFL.

2017 Stats

12 games played, 394 receiving yards, 4 receiving touchdowns, 0 rushing yards.

Nick Bawden is the top old-fashioned fullback in the draft. The former quarterback is incredibly tough, constantly looking contact as a lead blocker. He didn’t get much work as a ball carrier, but has shown reliable pass-catching ability when given the chance. He’s got good size for a fullback at 6’2" 245 pounds, but likely won’t be able to lineup as a tight end, and doesn’t have the running ability to be used as a big package h-back. He has a high football IQ and would likely excel in special teams defense.

2017 Stats

10 games played, 103 receiving yards, 1receiving touchdowns, 0 rushing yards.

Khalid Hill is a big, powerful fullback who has moved around the field in his career at Michigan. The Wolverines like to use traditional fullbacks, and Hill got his opportunity in that role. He was reliable running in short yardage situations, with 13 rushing touchdowns in his career. Hill also played tight end, and is heavy enough (263 pounds) to do so at the NFL level as well. His blocking technique is sub par, and he’ll need to improve to stay in front of more athletic defensive players.

2017 Stats

13 games played, 62 receiving yards, 0receiving touchdowns, 34 rushing yards, and 3 rushing touchdowns.

Austin Ramesh is an ideal size for a lead blocker at 6’1" 241 pounds, but isn’t nearly big enough to play on the line as a tight end. He is a traditional fullback who knows how to play the position. Wisconsin is one of the few schools who utilizes a traditional fullback, and Ramesh has helped block for some really good Badger running backs. He’s got pretty good lateral quickness for his size, but doesn’t have great hands or route running. His linebacker pedigree should help him be a good contributor in special teams, as well as his traditional role as a lead blocker.

2017 Stats

12 games played, 76 receiving yards, 0 receiving touchdowns, 89 rushing yards, and 2 rushing touchdowns.
