The fullback is a position sometimes overlooked, maybe not focused upon, but when in action, it is a deadly threat; one that, if utilized correctly, can wreak havoc on a defense. It is a threat unlike any other: a lead blocker, a power runner, a receiver out of the backfield, and off the field, a leader. This may be a hasty generalization, and not all fullbacks cover all of these fields, but I make this assumption because the fullback I grew up watching was, in fact, the intended threat a fullback is supposed to be. This is Shaun Chapas, a native of Jacksonville, Florida, alumni of Bolles High School, the University of Georgia’s fullback from 2007-2010 (redshirted in 2006), 2011 draftee of the Dallas Cowboys, and then a true journeyman of the NFL as described by Shaun.
