I don't mean a TE playing fullback but a true bone crusher that can catch passes out of the backfield as well. With most teams going to safety sized linebacker a fullback could really blow some holes open. Have 3 TE's and 1 FB on the roster would be beneficial I feel. The 4th TE never sees the field and you could always have the 4th TE on the practice squad if needed. Whats everyones thoughts?

Yeah, back until 2015 or so, a FB was needed on this team (and it usually worked well).

Since then, with how our offense has changed, we have 0 use for a FB and I'm sure Burrow would agree that he'd rather have a pass-catcher on the field, instead of a mauling blocker that can really only be used as a check-down.
