Some Fullbacks were just head and shoulders above the others. They were multi dimensional, could block, catch, and run.....and in that era, and the one prior to it, Nebraska put out a whole bunch of good one's. I enjoy watching Kyle Juszcyk from the Niners today- he plays that position on the level for sure. All of the guys that fit into that select group of Fullbacks, were just good football players in any era you put 'em in
@J Nix yes…another Nebraska legend.I’m of the age and remember him well. Hell Roger /craig played fullback as well I believe…just not your prototype like Rathman and Schlesinger
@J Nix in my 50’s…yes another Husker, and that running style Craig had with those high knee’s you mentioned….he was tough to tackle- and not a huge name coming out of Nebraska. He snuck up on a lot of us i think
I played fullback in high school, in Michigan while Schlesinger was a Lion. It’s a difficult and thankless position - basically a minesweeper. Cory was among the very best.
As a linebacker in high school between 03-06 I had plenty of battles against different fullbacks from around the county. Salute to y'all. Some tough ass hard nosed MF'ers man. I played in New Jersey. And yes, he was. Nicknamed Anvil Head lmao that says all that needs to be said 😂
What an absolute monster.

I always liked those Makovika brothers. Both walk-ons from an 8 man program. They were both beasts!
@@cavecookie1 They absolutely were….let’s not forget about Rathman either

It’s sad to see that most teams don’t even have a true fullback on their roster these days
A 195lb DB coming up to make the tackle...once. Into the tent with you!!
