The Fullback Position is Alive and Well in Baltimore

I think I got through the title with no spelling errors.

"The fullback is a dying position".

Not in Baltimore.

The phrase above seems to be uttered a lot amongst fans, as no one seems to be appreciate the value that a fullback can bring to the game. The position used to be a glamorous one, back in the days of smashmouth football, when players like Marion Motley, Jim Brown, and Steve Van Buren all played the position. With the dawn of the 'passing league' in the modern NFL, many teams have done away with the fullback entirely.
