Detroit Lions Dan Campbell discussed potential of using Alim McNeill at fullback.
With no true fullback currently on the roster as the team goes through mandatory minicamp, Campbell has begun to evaluate potential solutions within the group. One possible solution is defensive tackle, the team has had discussions with the standout defensive lineman about potentially providing snaps on the offensive side as a run-blocker.
Many teams are abandoning the true fullback role as the league transitions to a more spread out style of offense, however"We like a fullback if it makes sense and we know it's someone who can help us at that position and can dictate to the defense," Campbell explained. "That's really what you're trying to do, it kind of forces a defense into a look that you want usually. But we're not gonna force it either.
