Stanford’s throwback fullback who helped power a bruising run game
In the 2017 season, Daniel Marx played in 14 games for Stanford and was valued less for volume than for the dirty-work that makes a run game hum: lead blocking, physicality, and versatility at fullback, tight end, and even linebacker in high school. Stanford listed him as a top national fullback recruit out of Mission Viejo, and the program’s own notes highlight his role in opening lanes during some huge Cardinal rushing outputs. He’s a fit for teams that want a classic, hard-nosed lead blocker with blue-collar football instincts and a willingness to do the unglamorous stuff.
