Bryant’s 2013 starting fullback brings lead-blocking value and steady reliability
In 2013, Eric Pedroli emerged as Bryant’s starting fullback, appearing in 12 games and making seven starts, which points to a player coaches trusted in a traditional, role-specific position.[5] For a team, his appeal is less about flashy stats and more about dependable physicality, assignment discipline, and willingness to do the dirty work that helps an offense function—traits that usually matter most in short-yardage, run-heavy, or multiple-back systems.[5]
