Bengals rookie Jake Fisher switched jersey to #44 and moved to fullback. He's 6'6" and 304 pounds. -- nm* - Deck the Volnelk Dec 31, 09:40 2
- Fullback is a forgotten spot in today's league. It's a shame. -- nm - budice Dec 31, 09:52 1
  - It's basically so he doesn't have to keep reporting as eligible. He's more or less a tackle/tight end. -- nm* - Deck the Volnelk Dec 31, 10:01
