I hated this fullback class until I saw Bronson Rechsteiner’s entertaining highlight video. Coming from a triple option offense, Rechsteiner got the ball in his hands a lot and knew what to do with it. His solid ball skills, low center of gravity, and good balance help him run very efficiently with the ball and average over 8 yards per carry. Best of all, the dude is jacked and loves blocking. He carries his block all the way through, takes good angles, and attacks with proper leverage. I’m not sure he’ll be incredible at the goal line because finding small holes is his strong suit, but he does everything else incredibly well and has a rock-solid build.

14 games: 909 rushing yards, 7 rushing touchdown, 8.1 yards per carry, 101 receiving yards, 1/1 passing, 60 passing yards, 1 passing touchdown

In a class without many true fullbacks, Sewo has a chance to be the best. While he’s more of a running back than a fullback, he will be used in a hybrid role at the next level to get a big guy with speed out of the backfield. At 6’3" 232 pounds he isn’t particularly thick for a fullback, but will be able to put on some weight if asked to play there. He’s struggled with fumbles and having the patience to wait for blocks to develop. Embracing the fullback game can actually help him develop more as a running back. In terms of athletic traits, Sewo is the best in the class. If you had to plug in one of these top 5 to play the position today, it certainly would not be him. He needs to improve blocking, but could then turn into an h-back weapon.

2019 Stats

12 games: 537 rushing yards, 8 rushing touchdowns, 4.0 yards per carry, 114 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown

Parker Houston was used as a lead back in the East West bowl and looked great doing it. At just 6’2", he lacks ideal size for the tight end position, and would gladly embrace the position switch if it would help him make the team. Houston is a good blocker who uses his leverage well and a strong upper body to push defenders aside. He saw some success taking on defensive ends in the run game, and has the versatility to play at the end of the line if needed. His football IQ is above average, and his hands are good enough for an NFL fullback. His block-first style of play should help him land an opportunity in the NFL as a FB/TE hybrid.

2019 Stats

13 games: 154 receiving yards, 0 receiving touchdowns, 0 rushes

Jay Jay Wilson started his career as a linebacker/fullback hybrid at Arizona State. He had a solid year as a linebacker as a true junior in 2017, amounting over 40 tackles from the strong side. 4 games into the 2018 season he decided to transfer to Auburn, and embrace a full time role as a lead blocker and special teams work horse. At 6’2" 245 pounds, he has good size for the position, and has enough size and toughness to hold his own on the end of the line. He hasn’t had an actual carry since 2015, but he doesn’t look too bad with the ball in his hands off receptions. Auburn does a relatively good job with fullbacks, and he should be as ready as anyone in the position to step in day 1.

2019 Stats

13 games: 133 receiving yards, 1 receiving touchdown

Kelton Moore is a little like Sewo, offering some versatility as a running back who will want to add a little weight to play fullback. At 5’11" 230 pounds, he has a similar build to Vikings Pro Bowlers CJ Ham, who was also a college running back. Moore had a good sophomore year where he amounted over 800 yards on the ground, but was used less and less frequently as his career went on. He’s looked decent in his limited blocking attempts but doesn’t have much experience as a lead back. Moore should be able to contribute on special teams, and he’d have really soft hands for a fullback.

2019 Stats

10 games: 126 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns, 3.7 yards per carry, 17 receiving yards

Oh how the death of the fullback is apparent in the 2020 NFL draft. Despite minimal fullback usage in the NFL for a quite a while now, there’s been a steady stream of decent FB’s entering the league. This year, the top fullbacks are almost all from other positions like running back, linebacker, or tight end. There’s a good chance none of these guys stick in the league, but all it takes is one good fit and one hard working player. And you can be sure that these fullbacks will get their hands dirty and do whatever you ask them to on the gridiron.  They’ll need to embrace a special teams role and do the little things right. Rechsteiner is the one player in this group who I’d love to have on my team, but he doesn’t have ideal position versatility.
