My brother, a longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan, got me into fullbacks. He was a fullback himself for the Vermont division IV 8-man varsity football team in the early 2000’s on a squad that didn’t lose a game in four years, so the fullback position was cool in my eyes. If you’re able to put two (Tampa Bay early 2000’s) and two (fullback) together, you’ll see an early influence; Mike Alstott. With the cowboy collar and glove-less hands, Alstott was the best of both worlds: a nasty lead blocker and punishing runner. Unfortunately for everyone, Alstott retired in 2006, and so did the early 2000’s style of play.
