    Not necessarily. Fowler has done ALL those things already. You don't often run into TEs that play FB as well as a FB.

    As for Hernandez - he wasn't TE best blocking H back, he was however a successful chess piece that could do some of those things. Hell he even rushed sometimes.

    I think people are getting way too picky with naming the position he plays...

    Does a TE block? Does a full back block? Can some of them catch the ball? Can some of them rush the ball? Can some be battering rams?

    So seriously what's the difference here

    What the heck are you guys talking about?! Fowler is a FB and Walker is a TE. Yes, Fowler is versatile, but he's a FB. I promise you, you won't see him line up next to a tackle. His primary purpose is to to clear holes for Sankey and Co. They are not trying to mold him into the next Walker. What does that even mean? Sure he'll catch a pass out of the backfield or get a carry here and there, but that doesn't make him similar to a TE.

    Honestly I don't even want to see him utilized that way. Get in there big boy... hit the hole... and knock some helmets off! Old school, hard nose, power blocking. That's what I want to see!

    He was drafted as more than just a blocking FB people. Thus the 4th round selection.

    Walker was often used in a FB/H back role before he ever regularly played a down as a true TE
