The average NFL fullback in the league doesn’t have many plays run specifically for them, instead serving as a lead blocker for running backs and extra protection for quarterbacks. That’s the case for Kansas City Chiefs FB Michael Burton, who was involved in fewer than 10% of the team’s offensive snaps in 2021.
Burton is blocking for some new faces this season. After Sunday’s practice, he discussed some of those new running backs, including his mentorship to a new rookie teammate and fellow Scarlet Knights alumnus Isiah Pacheco.
