The fullback position is alive and well in the modern NFL, especially when it comes to former Wisconsin Badgers in the league.
Las Vegas Raiders fullback Alec Ingold had the longest grab of his NFL career this Sunday when the Raiders took down the Philadelphia Eagles. Ingold broke free for a 29-yard grab, surpassing his prior total season receiving yards on just one play late in the game.
Ingold was named a captain of the Raiders before the season began, and has been an essential piece to what Las Vegas is building as they sit at 5-2 on the young season.
Great design from #Raiders OC Greg Olsen. This is “X-Read” from nasty split 21-personnel. Typically Edwards would be primary but the Raiders use those splits to ISO FB Alec Ingold on the FB. Not many teams spotlighting their FB like this. #RaiderNation pic.twitter.com/7JwDqHmK5x
