One day fullbacks will have a section at the NFL's Hall of Fame museum all to themselves. Somewhere between a great player from a bygone decade and a replica of the first Super Bowl trophy, there'll be a display dedicated to a forgotten position played by the relics of the past.
More than any other position, fullback has suffered the changing tides of progress. Modern offensive football's reliance on the downfield passing game, multiple-receiver and spread sets has rendered the blocking back largely meaningless.
It's no wonder then that Darrel Young is the most underrated playmaker on the Washington Redskins roster, despite being one of the best players in the league at his position.
