Poll: Willie Lampkin Fullback packages this year?

[Ramer]

I can't speak to the other 2, but to my eye Lampkin is a "boom or bust" type guy. He's only 5'11" (at most) and 280 pounds. That lack of size is unheard of. There isn't a single OL in the entire NFL who is that short. Not even close.

(Lampkin might be saved by his freakishly long spider-monkey arms, however).

So to me, his preseason tape will tell the tale. If he is even mediocre, then his size limitations mean he's a bust. But if his play resembles the stud we saw in college and at the Senior Bowl, then other teams will want him, too.

But yeah-- I agree in general with your observation that all other 31 teams passed on him multiple times. He's an outlier for sure.

A blocking TE (extra OL basically) would make more sense to me than a FB.

I would bet money there's no chance of him going in the shitter PERIOD.

The guy continually rises to the occasion to outperform expectations.
What a great and fun underdog story.

I'm fully on the Lampkin hype train of course, but... only caution I'd express is to see if he gets a chance to go against the Chargers second stringers. Against the Cowboys, I think it was third and fourth stringers. Yes he pancaked some guys, but maybe they were against guys who will never be in the NFL.

Hope he gets some reps in the first half of the next preseason game.
