The New England Patriots have a tendency to find fullbacks in the unlikeliest of places.
The latest candidate is Navy product Paul Quessenberry, who last played football in 2014 as a defensive end. After five years out of football spent as a Marines officer, Quessenberry is giving the offensive side a try. Quessenberry is listed as a tight end but worked closely with Patriots fullback Jakob Johnson in practice.
Speaking of Johnson, his path to the NFL wasn’t much more direct. Johnson was born in Germany and played linebacker and tight end at the University of Tennessee.
