There are probably 10x as many NFL teams with Fullbacks as there are College teams (not counting triple option teams)

The position hasn’t gone away in the NFL.

Listen to Kyle Shannahan talk about them on PMT. they can give you an instant numbers advantage in the run game without the Defense knowing which side it’s going to be on which is huge.

The caveat is they have to be able to run and catch or you become too predictable. Carter is actually pretty good at that.

Sucks that he never found a true position, bc He was one of my favorite guys to just watch.. dude gave his 100% all in effort every damn play

But there are only 24 fullbacks in the nfl

That would mean like 2 college teams have fullbacks.

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.
