2012 NFL Draft fullback rankings

It’s still early in the college football season, but now is as good of a time as any to update individual position rankings for the 2012 NFL Draft.

Projecting fullbacks in the NFL can be difficult and often fruitless. The fist was wasn’t taken until the 124th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft when the Cleveland Browns selected Owen Marecic. There were five taken in last year’s draft, so that’s how many are ranked after the jump.

Note: The position rankings aren’t currently in line with the site’s top 200. After each position ranking is released, a new top 200 will be published.

1. Zach Boren | 6'0, 252 pounds | FB | Ohio State *
2. Cody Johnson | 5'11, 250 pounds | FB | Texas
3. Bradie Ewing | 5'11, 245 pounds | FB | Wisconsin
4. Evan Rodriguez | 6'2, 250 pounds | FB | Temple
5. Chad Diehl | 6'2, 260 pounds | FB | Clemson

* denotes underclassman
