Columbia FB Nico Papas brings old-school versatility and physical edge
Nico Papas profiles as a tough, versatile Columbia fullback who brings value beyond the box score: Columbia’s roster notes show he contributed as a receiver, runner, and blocker, while also leading the team in tackles and pancake blocks in 2011—an unusually physical two-way imprint for a skill-position player. That kind of multi-role reliability is useful for a team that wants a gritty, selfless tone-setter who can help in short-yardage, special situations, and the dirty work that rarely shows up in highlight reels.[5][6]
