Wherefore Art Thou Fullback?
When you think of the fullback in today’s game, you probably think of a player like Vonta Leach, widely regarded as the best blocking back in the NFL. There are also the H-Back/receiving fullback types, like Marcel Reece or James Casey, and the rushing fullbacks like Le’Ron McClain, Jacob Hester, and Mike Tolbert. And it’s the fullbacks who double as goal line threats like John Kuhn and Jed Collins who get the most attention from fantasy players. But the fullback position was not always so specialized.
Brandon Flowers: The Numbers, The Tape, The Verdict | Pre Snap Reads
After analysing the abilities of Darrelle Revis, Patrick Peterson and Richard Sherman, the natural next step would be to find the next superstar cornerback to continue the revealing. The Cleveland Browns’ Joe Haden, Houston Texans’ Jonathan Joseph or Chicago Bears’ Charles Tillman would all be obvious options. Be it good or bad, sometimes it’s both, much of my analysis can be considered unnatural. For that reason, instead of moving onto a big-name cornerback, I decided to take a cornerback with a good reputation who played for the worst team in the league last year.

Spencer Ware not backing down from obvious challenge
"It helps," Ware said of the increase reps, which Tuesday came in the indoor practice facility at Virginia Mason Athletic Center. "It gets me in a comfortable position as far as lining up in the fullback or the tailback position. I’m picking it up pretty fast, being able to do some things to disguise what I’m doing for the defense but still know my assignment and the protection and getting out." What Ware has displayed to this point is soft hands as a receiver, quick feet as a runner and the willingness to do whatever is asked – blocking as a fullback; running as a tailback; catching the ball as either; and running down the field to cover kicks on special teams. "I’m a team player and I’m trying to contribute any way I can," he said. "Something I take pride in is knowing the offense and knowing everybody’s key roles and what is called for in certain situations. So it kind of naturally just comes to me knowing both positions."
