2016 NFL Draft Profile: Nebraska Fullback Andy Janovich

If you actually leave the friendly confines of Nebraska, you may be stunned to find out there are people who believe the fullback is NOT the most important position on a football team.

I know. I had a hard time believing it too.

The truth of the matter is that the fullback is slowly disappearing as more colleges go to spread offenses and no-huddle. Even the NFL is slowly acquiescing to this trend as 1/3 of pro teams did not carry a fullback on their 2015 roster.

Over the past few years anywhere from 3-4 fullbacks are drafted.
