| Fullback RANKINGS |
Name Height Weight 40 Time College
1. Matt Bernstein 6’1 259 4.87 Wisconsin
Strengths: Tremendous size and strength. Is a dominating lead blocker. Is a good goal-line
runner who is deceptively fast and quick. Decent hands. Experienced and a good team player.
Weaknesses: Isn’t a great athlete. Needs to improve his ability to block in space. Isn’t ever going
to be much of a receiver of runner. Has had some injuries.
How He Fits: This guy is a lead blocker plain and simple. I think we need a guy like Bernstein to
help our running game. Parcells usually leans towards the more versatile guys, but we don’t need a
Richie Anderson type guy when we have the TO, Glenn, and Witten.
2. Garrett Mills 6’2 241 4.62 Tulsa
Strengths: Great athlete. Knows how to get open and make the tough catch. Had the best
receiving season of any tight end in the history of college football. Is a good blocker in space. Is a
hard worker who wants to learn how to be an H-back type player.
Weaknesses: Needs to add weight and strength. Isn’t much of a lead blocker yet.
How He Fits: If Parcells wants a more versatile H-back type fullback then this is his guy. He would
be a great option in the 4th round instead of Bernstein if that is the direction Parcells wanted to go.
3. Brian Vickers 6’0 245 4.85 Colorado
Strengths: Has decent athletic ability. A jack-of-all trades guy who can run, catch, and block.
Experienced and very mature. Really excels as a receiver.
Weaknesses: Has poor top end speed. Needs to get stronger and improve as a blocker.
Probably won’t be much of a factor as a runner in the NFL.
How He Fits: Another solid option in the 4th or 5th round if Parcells wants a more versatile fullback.
4. Rashon-Powers Neal 6'2 240 4.61 Notre Dame
Strengths: Strong and physical runner. Has decent speed and quickness. Is an excellent receiver
out of the backfield. Has some potential.
Weaknesses: Not an outstanding blocker. Not very physical for a fullback. Will never be much
more than a situational runner.
How He Fits: Good all-around fullback that Parcells seems to like. Good late round option.
5. JD Runnels 6'0 237 4.65 Oklamhoma
Strengths: An outstanding run blocker. Very physical. Is good at picking up the blitz. A decent
athlete. Solid receiver. Is a team leader with great intangibles.
Weaknesses: Undersized. Can he be a good blocker in the NFL with his size. Not much of a
runner.
How He Fits: This guy is a great run blocker. He reminds me of Polite and Tony Richardson at the
same time. I really wouldn't mind spending a late round on this guy.
6. Shawn Willis 6’1 260 4.90 Oklahoma St.
Strengths: An outstanding run blocker. Lead the way for a very potent running attack.
Experienced guy who has played a lot of football.
Weaknesses: Struggles in space. Not a very good athlete. May not be fast enough to be an
every down fullback. Doesn’t bring much to the table as a runner or receiver.
How He Fits: He is a great blocker like Bernstein. He would be a decent option in the 6th round if
Parcells wants a bulldozer for a fullback.
