Whitlock was a collegiate nose tackle, and a good one. Unfortunately, he is undersized for the position at the NFL level. He is trying to transition to fullback, a spot with the Giants that belongs to Henry Hynoski.

Fullback Nikita Whitlock was a collegiate nose tackle who had 18.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss in four years at Wake Forest. At 5-foot-11, 250 pounds, however, being an NFL defensive lineman is not going to happen.
