Walk-on-turned-fullback who brought bruising leverage and reliable hands to Michigan State
In the 2011 season, Todd Anderson was a 6-foot-2, 265-pound senior fullback for Michigan State who played in all 14 games and started seven, finishing with 6 catches for 40 yards and a touchdown after switching from the defensive line in spring practice[1][3]. His calling card was old-school toughness: a former walk-on who earned a scholarship, he was praised for physicality, work ethic, and rapid adaptability, and one NFL scouting profile flagged elite strength but limited burst and agility, which is pretty classic fullback territory[1][2][4]. If a team wants a downhill lead blocker with blue-collar credibility and no-nonsense intensity, Anderson fits the bill.
