Minnesota’s physical fullback with proven downhill value
Ed Cotton is listed by Minnesota as a fullback and brings a traditional, physical profile that fits a power run game: he was a productive runner at the prep level, and the Gophers roster notes his background as a durable, versatile offensive piece. What makes him interesting is less about flash and more about fit—teams looking for a tough interior blocker, short-yardage presence, and a selfless tone-setter should care. His value depends on scheme, but his style suggests a good match for a downhill offense that prizes physicality and reliability over pure volume. [2]
