Since college game doesn't produce running fullbacks as in old school days. Often NFL teams turn a TE into a blocking FB that can Power Run up the Gut and catch passes in the flat and attack the outside flanks as well. A TE has the FB size needed. TE's who can learn FB can be very helpful in 3rd and short and Goal Line Defense situations. If an NFL team wants a Czonka or Riggins or Otis or a Pete Johnson, college doesn't make them anymore, but some TE's have the heavyweight fighter size and ability to fill the bill. Not all of the 5 TE's have to be TE's. They should always be trying to turn one into a FB type. Size, Blocking, Hands, and if they can hit the hole for a short yard run in traffic, you got an NFL type Fullback monster.
