There's always training camp hype trains. Not just here, but everywhere across the league. A guy will have a good day or two and some people will act like that is going to translate into a major role then the guy gets released a couple weeks later and they're shocked and appalled. Happens every year with every team.

Yeah, used to always seem to be some UDFA fullback that I would get harder than a 15 yo boy in a strip club over and he'd inevitable be in the 1st round of cuts.

I miss fullbacks...

Where are all the, uh, "USC" fans at? I know its South Carolina, but I've seen their fans in here on the regular. What do y'all have to say? That's really why I started the thread: for the perspective of someone who is really familiar with the kid.

Solid player. Decently quick, long, and a solid tackler. Could be a special teams ace if given the opportunity and decent backup. Not likely more than that. 

I do wish he would have stayed one more year (if allowed) because I think he would be a great experienced LB in college. But don’t know that he’s going to make it in the NFL unless as a backup/ST guy.

I dont think Canales wants or needs a full time fullback for his system.

That being said, Tommy Tremble has been used as a H-Back/ hybrid fullback some.

Dominique Dafney (who could make this team if we keep 4 TEs or is Tremble starts the season on PUP, also has experience playing H-Back.

But yeah, I've been rewatching some games from '03- '08 recently, and Brad Hoover was sneaky good in helping our RBs succeed.

We also used Tolbert as fullback some.

Offense goes in cycles, but yeah right now, fullback is not really valued at all in the NFL.

I remember Hoover filling in at RB in 2004 and did pretty well. Had over 4 ypc and almost 100 yards in a game.
