Back then full backs were the back bone of the offense. They did everything. Run recieve block

donny anderson was pretty good, listed as a running back most of his career, a double threat as a running back and receiver, throw in a big-time punter and it's no wonder he got that huge contract.

Fullbacks, I love tough runners who never fumble and are hard to tackle

Great video Mark, once again showing what a different game it was back then. I feel fortunate having witnessed a lot of it back when I was a kid. Today’s game is soulless, sterile. Your videos never get old!

Everyone knew how great Csonka was and he was still underrated. His yards per carry as a fullback were amazing from 1970-1973

Despite being named to three Pro Bowls (one of which he dominated, although they gave the MVP to O.J.) Marv Hubbard was the most underrated fullback of all time.

Some of hits these guys took, it is amazing how anybody lasted in the NFL.

Donny Anderson was worth every penny. I remember when he came to St. Louis in '73. People were excited.

Great video as always! I'm 68 and grew up watching all those guys play. Matt Snell of the Jets and Jim Nance of the Patriots were also 2 underrated fullbacks

You had to be tough to play in the (60s-70s) NFL...You had to be exceptionally tough to compete in the black & blue division! I, living in Des Moines as a kid got to watch the Bears, Vikes or Pack every week. I used to chart plays w/special attention to Brown, Anderson, Pitts, Sayers etc. I loved Willard too & his crew cut with fenders. Did you notice the Ref in red stripes and red socks? Anderson was an iron man going from frozen to concrete turf. The fullback in today's game is an H back, an F Receiver an added "blocker". The fullback is kind of invisible like middle linebacker...but I appreciate it when I see it today - call 'em what they will. Thanks brother, you're appreciated.

Jon Keyworth was a great FB for Denver. He ran for 725 yards in 1975 for Denver and he was the Broncos leading rusher that year. When I was 13 I thought I cld be a fullback. The coach gave me one try and I ran with my head down. If he coached me I wld have run wild because I rambled and was clever like a fox. I was always going to be a tackle, but burns me even today is I lost a year of learning because he hardly ever played me and he never said he was not going to play me in the backfield. I hadn't played until the year before and was not nearly as experienced because first was mostly a wash because I was a butterball and fatter and shorter than everybody. I lost weight and grew.
