Max Bredeson
Michigan
Scouting Report

Bredeson is the kind of player NFL coaches love — a selfless, physical lead blocker who makes everyone around him better and never shows up on the stat sheet. Michigan was nearly 50% more likely to score a touchdown when he was on the field, and he graded as the top run-blocking skill player in the entire country by PFF. He catches what you throw him and won't get you beat in pass protection, but there's no playmaking element here — this is a fullback whose value lives entirely between the tackles and in the locker room. In a league that increasingly treats the fullback position as optional, Bredeson's NFL future hinges entirely on landing with one of the handful of teams that still values heavy personnel groupings and old-school physicality.

Pro ComparisonPatrick Ricard (Baltimore Ravens)

Similar profile as a versatile, physical lead blocker who aligns in multiple spots and contributes primarily through run blocking and effort plays rather than skill-position production. Ricard carved out a long NFL career as a Pro Bowl fullback despite limited receiving numbers — Bredeson's path would mirror that trajectory if he lands in the right scheme.
