Despite a couple instances of noticeable impact during the 2018 season, Buffalo Bills fullback Patrick DiMarco saw his offensive snaps dwindle from 25 percent to 16 percent. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll does not seem to utilize fullbacks as much as former coordinator Rick Dennison. Considering DiMarco’s contributions to the team along with his $2.1 million cap hit in 2019, it’s fair to wonder if cheaper, or more useful, options could be found in the draft.
Few teams utilize fullbacks anymore, and those that do rarely employ NFL-caliber players. As such, there’s only a couple prospects this draft season who will earn draft-able grades.
