Melvin Jones is 6'3" and somewhere around 240lbs.

He will be a excellent fullback. I wish he would be competing for linebacker but I guess he has some serious ball skills.

He's got unbelievable speed for his size.

Check out his HS highlights.

Neighbors was a superior FB all season, and he improved a lot as the season went on. And I'm not even talking about Copeland's penalties or the goal-line fumble. Copeland hits like a freight train, but he also whiffs a fair amount or only gets a small piece of the defender. Neighbors has superior footwork and almost always squares up his blocks. I'm confident that Neighbors will play on Sundays, even though the fullback is a dying breed in the NFL.

I like how people think it's like a video game and we can just plug Hilliard in there
I don't think anyone is thinking it's like NCAA. Hillard has played snaps at FB before and who knows what Miles might do in short yardage situations.
