The Denver Broncos are re-installing the fullback position into their offense under Gary Kubiak, and while fullbacks are almost going ‘extinct’ in today’s game, the position offers a new versatility and flexibility that basically gives your team another tight end on the field at all times.
The Broncos used to use a lead blocking fullback in the Mike Shanahan era, and quickly phased it out after Josh McDaniels and Chris Gronkowski left the building, and Peyton Manning entered.
This year, there are only two real players to even look at when talking about the fullback position. They are James Casey and Joe Don Duncan.
