Fullback:

1. Kyle Juszczyk: The Ravens are one of the few teams in the NFL that still loves having a fullback. Juszczyk caught 41 passes last season for 321 yards and four touchdowns. He is an annoyance for defensive coordinators, because he is one of the most unusual weapons in the game. While he is mostly a blocker, you never know when “Juice” is going to score on you.

Juszczyk is one of the best players at a position that is fading in the NFL. He is the Ravens’ one and only fullback. In the scenario the Ravens need another fullback, they have a ton of tight end talent.

The fullback does not get a roster spot on many NFL teams. So it should not surprise anyone that the Ravens only have one. Offensive coordinator, Marc Trestman, seems absolutely enamored with Juszczyk.
