Most of them do a good job of catching the ball out of the backfield. If Tory Carter could catch, then he'd find a spot on an NFL roster. As it is, I don't think that he makes it.

Lol there’s like 5 total FBs in the NFL and they’re usually guys who have great hands and can run routes. I love Tory carter but that’s not him at all. I’d be shocked if he ever makes anything more than a practice squad.

Last I heard, only 14 of 32 teams carry "A fullback" so that is 14 positions out of what, 32 teams* 55 men per roster = 1,760 players.
I am not aware of teams carrying 2 fullbacks.
So for Carter to make a roster, he is going to have make it on special teams (which he has a chance to do because he can do that) plus improve his pass catching ability so when he is on the field the offense does not become predictable in terms of play calls.

He’s a strength coach just waiting to happen

It's Kyle Juszczyk, and here are some of his highlights 2019-2020 Highlights

Might make an NFL team's practice squad or STeam player

This board is infatuated with him. But he's not that good.

As long as he can catch having a fullback gives you two short outlet receivers on either side of the field. Great for goal-line situations and no matter how good your offensive lineman are, clearing the lane with a fullback who has four or five yards to build up steam before contact is like clearing the bike lane with a dump truck. Momentum is a mass multiplier

There are about 14 teams that use a FB still. If he can prove himself to be valuable on special teams for one of those franchises and display proficiency catching the ball, then he's got a chance.

He's basically a lineman with good hands.

The caveat is they have to be able to run and catch or you become too predictable. Carter is actually pretty good at that.
Fullbacks (and increasingly tight ends and reserve linebackers) HAVE to be solid or better on special teams in order to stay in the league. Obviously, Carter would project to be an outstanding special teams contributer as well.
His "whole" is greater than the sum of his parts. It is that attitude/mindset/work ethic that is the difference.

That would mean like 2 college teams have fullbacks.
How many use true FBs?

He has a very limited chance. Due to very little true fullbacks in the game. It could help he got some te work. Don’t know if he has the speed to be a special team only player. Usually a backup lber or wr. I know the Green Bay special teams captain. He is a lber who has had to fill in the mlb spot when starter hurt. So you want a guy who can fill in a position of need if someone gets hurt. Fullback isn’t worth having a backup. You can get by with an injured fb with tes or extra linemen.
If he he can have some really good workouts catching the ball and running times maybe he can steal one of the fb spots.

He would have gotten a ton of playing time at tight end if he'd come back to LSU. Now LSU's tight ends going into next season are Kole Taylor, Nick Storz, and WR/TE Jack Bech.
Kole Taylor will be drafted

Yes, but the TE #2 spot was wide open.

The NFL obviously gets their FB from somewhere. It makes zero sense to claim there are 10× more FB there than in college. That's just not how labor markets work.
It's a short shelf life, high turnover position, and I just don't think teams are terribly interested in using a roster spot on a guy with limited athleticism, very little blocking tape, terrible pass catching skills, and multiple suspensions.
