Rhode Island’s old-school fullback with a bruiser’s edge
In the 2014 season, Justin Favreau was a 6-foot-4, 235-pound senior fullback for Rhode Island who was valued for physicality, versatility, and hustle more than volume stats; he logged a touchdown against CCSU in 2013 and even forced a fumble on a scramble play, showing a nastier-than-you’d-expect motor.[3][9][12] The big appeal here is fit: he looks like a throwback lead blocker and short-yardage piece who can help a team win ugly, bring energy, and do the dirty work that doesn’t always show up in box scores.[3][5][12]
