***Jaguars @ Dolphins Preseason Game Night Thread***

Can he block?  He seems to have the size of someone who can block,  fullback between the tackles blocking.

In the 1970s, many teams had Fullbacks that led the team in rushing attempts and rushing yards.  Teams ran a lot then, and that fullback stayed on the field almost all the time,  carried the ball a lot and also blocked for the one of the RBs that the team also had on the roster. 

Jim Brown, Larry Czonka, John Riggins, Franco Harris, Mark Van Eeghen, Sam Cunningham - all Fullbacks.  Teams that hold the rushing records,  Raiders 1977 attempts in a season,  Patriots 1978 rushing yards in a season,  both had Fullbacks as leading rushing attempts and leading rushing yards,  and in 1977, Van Eeghan had as many carries as the Raiders had pass attempts.
