1. Spencer Brown, FB/RB, UAB
   Height: 6-1. Weight: 220.
   Projected 40 Time: 4.56.
   Projected Round (2021): 7-FA.
   2/10/20: Brown averaged 3.8 yards per carry in 2019 for 566 yards and five touchdowns. He also made three receptions for 16 yards. Brown is a big back who put up impressive production over the previous two years. In 2018, he averaged 4.5 yards per carry for 1,227 yards for 16 touchdowns. He caught eight passes for 20 yards and a touchdown as well. In the 2017 season, he averaged 5.3 yards per carry for 1,329 yards with 10 touchdowns. Brown may not have the speed to stay at running back in the NFL, but he could gain weight and play some fullback.





2. Tory Carter, FB, LSU
   Height: 6-0. Weight: 245.
   Projected 40 Time: 4.59.
   Projected Round (2021): 7-FA.

3. Houston Heimuli, FB, Stanford
   Height: 5-11. Weight: 249.
   Projected 40 Time: 4.88.
   Projected Round (2021): FA.
   2/10/20: Heimuli is a big lead blocker who caught a touchdown in 2018 and also played on special teams for the Cardinal. His playing time could increase as an upperclassman.





4. Ben VanSumeren, FB, Michigan
   Height: 6-2. Weight: 244.
   Projected 40 Time: 4.89.
   Projected Round (2021): FA.
   2/10/20: VanSumeran is a big lead blocker who could contribute more as an upperclassman. He comes from a pro-style offense that is one of the few still using a fullback.



5. Richie Worship, FB, Purdue
