Scouts Inc's 4th rated FB.

Not sexy, but a neccessary position for improvement.

Thank you..Hopefully he will be better than the FB we currently have that ruined the season...

I like the pick. Good value.

At his size he is more of an H-back than a true FB. We could have thrown Phillips back into that role once healthy. Everything I have read on Chapas isn't all that enamored with his blocking skills.

Well that's the thing. He can't be an H-back because he doesn't run well. He's a traditional lead blocker FB.

We have thrown a lot of shat against the wall at that position since Moose departed. Might as well see if he sticks.

He wont be an H-back, but he is much more versatile than someone like Deon Anderson or the guy we had before him.

Am a UGA and see most of their games. I really like this guy. He can block, he is an excellent receiver and he can run well enough that teams have to at least worry that if he's in the game, we might actually throw to him.

I think he'll make a big difference in the short yardage and GL offense, and he's also a very good special team player.

He really is a true FB, he's been playing a prostyle I-formation offense at Georgia his whole career. Richt is a big believer in utilizing the FB in his offense.

He's gonna be a really good fit for our offense.

We don't employ the traditional fullback a lot in this offense, so H-back may be his role.

He's a true FB. Its what he's been doing at Georgia his whole time there.

They kept 3 RB's, 3 TE's and a FB on the roster every year from 2007-2009. They'll do it again this yr.

They hardly use the FB. It's not just a role that Garrett incorporates much into the offense.
