The New Orleans Saints are one of the few teams around the NFL still utilizing the fullback position. And they generally do it like no other team. Because of that, a unique player is necessary for the position to be maximized.
The typical hard-nosed fullback is all about power. Downhill running, and high-speed collisions from blocking. In New Orleans, however, a certain level of finesse is also required.
New Orleans asks a lot of its fullbacks and that’s why the recent signing of former Carolina Panther Alex Armah makes sense.
