Might be seeing the effects of the 55-man and 48-man game day roster increases.

One of the extra 3 activated has to be an O-Lineman but 2 extra spots means the possibility of having a blocking FB specalist who has 3 carries and 12 receptions over a 5 year career.

When is the last time we had a FB? I don't even remember.

I like the idea of having one on the roster, especially if he can play ST.

Hell, put 2 FB in the back field Big Q and Nix. and make them guess where the ball is going with Mack.

I would guess the last Colts player listed as a full time fullback was Stanley Havili back in 2013.

There have been other guys that have taken snaps at the position for certain plays - for instance, I think TE Ryan Hewitt took some snaps as a FB along with others.

. . . Excellent special teamer. Twice played more than 300 special-teams snaps in seasons for the Steelers.

Roosevelt Nix as a special teamer:

2018: 7 tackles, FF, blocked kick
2017: 10 tackles
2016: 8 tackles
2015: 9 tackles, FF

Knee injury limited him to just 3 games last year.

Are we moving away from 2 tight end sets? Nix's biggest positive is his special team play and blocking.

Possibly two TE, one WR, one FB goal line set.

I believe that's probably all that he was brought in to do, as well as play ST.

Free agent TE Trey Burton has agreed to terms with the #Colts, per EnterSportsMgmt. Back together with coach Frank Reich. He gets a 1-year deal worth the minimum... but he gets a total of $4M that’s already guaranteed from the #Bears.
