For the first time in four years, the Chicago Bears have a fullback on the roster. They signed Khari Blasingame to a one-year deal this offseason, where he’s expected to serve a key role on offense.
Blasingame served as the primary fullback for the Tennessee Titans since his arrival in 2019. But after being limited to 11 games due to injury, he fell down the depth chart in favor of undrafted rookie Tory Carter. Now, the Bears get a tough, productive fullback in Blasingame.
“What he brings to the team is toughness,” running backs coach David Walker said last week. “You don’t have to have pads on to just watch and feel him in terms of toughness. That’s from a physical and a mental standpoint.”
