If 2018 has proven anything to the NFL, it’s that Matt Nagy isn’t shy about putting big dudes in places you usually don’t see big dudes in this sport.
Case in point: During last weekend’s season finale against the Minnesota Vikings, 6-foot-7, 312 pound backup swing tackle Bradley Sowell played eight snaps lined up as a fullback.
“Hats off to Brad, that’s an odd position for a tall lineman to be in,” right tackle Bobby Massie said. “He stepped in there and he made some key blocks.”
Sowell was told the Wednesday prior to the Vikings game he’d get some work at fullback, and quickly became “obsessed,” he said, with learning everything he could about the position.
