David Strider’s old-school value: a bruising fullback with pro-day power
In the 2010 season, Samford’s David Strider was listed at 6-0, 265 pounds and played FB/DL, a rare two-way physical profile that screams toughness and downhill utility; his career notes show he had already contributed as a runner and later impressed scouts by benching 225 pounds 27 times at Samford’s 2012 Pro Day. That kind of contact-heavy, tone-setting skill set makes him the sort of player who fits teams that want grit, versatility, and a lead-blocking hammer rather than a stat-sheet star.
