TEN signed a FB as a lead blocker last season when LaFleur was OC there. Derrick Henry went from off top of my head about 3.3 yds/carry before they signed him week 8, using TEs as H backs to block, to over 8 yds/carry after they signed this guy, can't recall his name, to finish 2018 season if I remember right.
Think LaFleur had bigger plans for FB Danny Vitale as part of the offense as both a runner and out of backfield as receiver, where he had a solid number of receiving yds at Northwestern. Avg around 350/year, close to 11 yds/per reception.
Good, old school FB.
Coldy knows his stuff....
The 28-year-old NFL veteran is a fullback with a six-pack. A fullback who's clocked a laser-timed 4.6 40-Yard Dash at nearly 250 pounds. A fullback who holds the NFL Combine record for Bench Press reps at his position. A fullback who can block clean nearly 450 pounds.” Stack.com
Primarily a blocker in college and in the pros. He played a lot of special teams as well. Even as the starting fullback, not used much offensively on the ground or in the air.
