Fullbacks are a dying breed in the NFL. Offenses are moving more toward spread schemes designed to space out an opponent’s defense, rather than grind out a smash-mouth run game. Ideal fullbacks can block and run these days, or, at least, execute one of those duties to near perfection.
Bohanan racked up a whopping total of 58 all-purpose yards in 2015, so it’s fair to say his main function in New York’s offense is blocking. Unfortunately, Pro Football Focus graded him as the worst blocking fullback in the league. The Jets’ running game, which lagged at the end of the year as Chris Ivory felt the effects of the largest workload of his career, could have greatly benefited from better work in the trenches from Bohanon.
