Penn’s do-it-all back who won with toughness, versatility, and trust
Bradford Blackmon was a versatile Penn weapon who, in the 2010 season, lined up at running back, wide receiver, on defense, and as a returner, which is the kind of “play me anywhere” profile coaches love. Penn’s own preview described him as a player with exceptional effort and enough size to potentially handle fullback duties, while his college stats show a modest but efficient all-purpose role rather than feature-back volume. If a team wants a gritty, selfless, high-IQ utility back who can help on special teams and do a bit of everything, Blackmon fits that mold nicely.
