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.

#TeamESM client Trey Burton has agreed to terms with the Colts! We’re so excited for TreyBurton8 to reunite with Head Coach Frank Reich!

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.

Colts truth. Thank you, Frank.
