Without a true fullback on the roster, Redskins head coach Jay Gruden believes tight end Niles Paul could play that role, among many others, during the 2016 season.
The return of Niles Paul will do more than just add another pass-catching threat at tight end for the Washington Redskins.
Redskins head coach Jay Gruden on Wednesday indicated that Paul, and perhaps another tight end on the roster as well, could play some snaps at fullback for Washington this upcoming season.
“Yeah, I think that’s ideal, I think you can gain a spot on offense also,” Gruden said at the NFC Coaches Breakfast at the NFL Owners Meeting in Boca Raton, Fla.
