In recent years, the importance of the fullback position has been diminished in the NFL. They usually block 90 percent of the time and are rarely involved in the passing game.
Currently, the Saints only have two fullbacks on their training camp roster. The Saints like to bring two fullbacks into game day for depth, but they primarily will use one. What has helped the team in the past, is that tight end David Thomas has experience as a fullback as well and has been able to sub in for a few plays.
Make the jump to see my opinion on whether or not both fullbacks will make the final roster. Afterwards, put your thoughts in the comment section below.
