Coach ,

For a while, coaches joked that NFL stood of “No Fullbacks Left.”  That is no longer true. 

Kyle Juszczyk, the four-time Pro Bowler of the San Francisco 49ers, is a prime example that the fullback position is a species that has been saved from extinction.

What’s interesting though about the resurgence of fullbacks at every level of football is that they have come back as an evolved position. The days of the “extra guard” in the backfield are over. The position is used to add a dynamic to the offense that today’s spread defenses will struggle with. The position can provide explosiveness to the run game and pass game.

The epicenter of fullback and tight end play in college football is eight-time FCS National Champion North Dakota State. They have won the last three in a row, and offensive coordinator, and former NDSU/Seattle Seahawks fullback Tyler Roehl knows exactly how to train the position.

He created a course, “Training a Physical Fullback to Dominate the Run Game” and it gives every detail needed to add this position into your run game.

In this video, he gives an introduction of how they utilize the fullback in their offense.

The quality of this course is second to none. It has been produced with CoachPaint, the same tool you see used to telestrate NFL and college football games.

Coaching points are made so much clearer with this tool, and you will leave it with a clear understanding of how to train your fullbacks.

Here’s an example from the course:

It’s the first of three courses produced by Coach Roehl in this series. In the next few days, you will see a Tight End Training course and Integrating TE/FB into Play Action course as well.

Coach is offering an introductory discount on “Training a Physical Fullback to Dominate the Run Game” for a short time. If you are looking to add a fullback to stress the defense all game or in packages, this is the course to learn how to do that.

Enjoy the games this weekend and on Monday, and imagine what your offense would be like with a dynamic fullback added in.

Always be growing!
