Monken's Fullback Vision: Cleveland Browns Draft Strategy

0:00On March 31st, New Cleveland Brown's head coach Todd Munkin just landed his first NFL top job at age 60. Unlike most coaches who dodge real-talking interviews, this guy seems straight up honest. He's all about running his offense his way, and that starts with bringing back the fullback, a position the Browns don't even have right now. Reports say the New York Giants outbid Cleveland, for Munkin's old fullback, Patrick Ricard, from his Ravens days, fullbacks have become super rare, league-wide, often filled by tight ends or even linemen stepping in. Fans and analysts are buzzing because Munkin's style could shake things up. After years without a true fullback, some like ESPN Cleveland's Tony Grossi have been pushing for one forever. It might change how the Browns block and grind out tough yards. Looking ahead to the draft, prospects like Navy's Eli Heidenreich stand out as pure fullbacks. Others, including George's Oscar delp, who Munkin recruited himself, could slide in as hybrid tight end fullback types.
