Fullback Room

Fullbacks are becoming a lost position in football. However they can still be factors in both the pass and run game of any offense. For the most part, FBs in DeepRoute are used for their blocking abilities more so than their running or pass catching abilities. However, this does not mean they can not be used in those areas. When looking for blocking FBs you should evaluate them the same way in which you would evaluate an offensive linemen. The attributes you will want to look for can be broken down into pass blocking and run blocking, however having high strength is a must for both of these. For pass blocking you will want to look for high footwork and pass blocking attributes first and foremost. After those two, looking at athleticism and read opposition will help your FB. For Run Blocking you will want to look for high first step, run blocking, and motor in addition to high strength. Finding a FB who excels in both of these areas is rare, so when you find one you should likely hang on to them for a while.
