The fullback position is dead, so they say. That’s far from the case in Atlanta, where the best fullback in the league resides. Patrick DiMarco is fresh off the back of an excellent season, and he is one of the most important members of the Falcons roster.
DiMarco’s biggest impact comes in run blocking. He opened up a number of lanes for Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman to exploit. Most of his work goes unnoticed by the casual fan up in the trenches, but his importance to the team is high.
