Bob played tailback in college.  It wasn't until the pros that he was 
moved to fullback.

We used the the tight end quite frequently and effectively under 
Barnett.  I still remember Darren Drexler rumbling downfield with three 
defenders hanging on his back after catching a pass over the middle.  
I'd have to add him to the list.  Other than that, I'd have to pull out 
an older media guide from when we separated receiving records for tight 
ends.

What about Matt Ulrich?  He was only recently cut by the Colts.  Never 
got much pro PT, but was one of our best while in school.

You could make room for more of the LBs that have been mentioned if you 
move Napo to Defensive End, where he played his senior season.  Alright, 
he was out of position and was a much better LB than he ever was a DE, 
but it would balance things out a bit.

Just my $.02.
