after 15 seasons with the seahawks hes decided to call it quits.
guy was an awesome FB and will be a great loss to the seahawks. :'(
"As reported Sunday on Seahawks.com, he had a stinger that had caused loss of feeling in his arm and his fingers. He didn’t play after the first quarter. After tests Monday revealed he had a herniated disc in his neck that is pinching the spinal cord, Strong called his wife and mother to warn them.
After 15 years with the Seahawks, their 36-year-old Pro Bowl fullback announced his retiring"

That is the coolest name i've ever seen

Fullbacks are a dying breed in the NFL these days. But the ones that are still thriving like Lorenzo Neal are badasses.
If not for that neck injury, I think Strong would've played another year or two. I love fullbacks and some of the great ones are largely reponsible for the success a lot of feature running backs have enjoyed in NFL history.
Lorenzo Neal, for example has blocked for the following 1,000 yards rushers that I know of:
LT
Corey Dillon
Eddie George
Dalton Hilliard
Not a bad list.
Moose Johnson blocking for Emmitt Smith comes to mind also.

you are right...i cant think of any other true fullbacks

The guy from the Texans is nasty.

One of the most thankless and underrated positions in pro football, I'd classify Heath Evans as fullback, he catches som passes out of the backfield but is mostly a blocker and goalline type guy. They must take a beating clearingout those DE

Who was the guy for the 49ers back in the mid-90's??
Floyd something?? Number 40?
He was really good before knee injuries did him in.

William Floyd. He was good.

Floyd wasn't near as good as Tom Rathman.
Strong was a great, great football player. I'll miss him.
Fullbacks are pure studs. Smart. Strong. Tough. Selfless.

Oh yeah, Rathman!
He really liked that guy in his heyday. I'm suprised I forgot about him.

true that.

Don't forget Dan Kreider, he is a beast and one of the best FB in the game.

Yep. These guys get very little press. They don't show up on the stat sheet very much. You don't hear their names called during the game (unless it's for a penalty). Unsung heroes.

cory slessenger.. remember him from the lions. came out of nebreska

Keep an eye on Reagan Mauia. UH grad and starting for the Dolphins as a rookie. He's down to 270. Calls himself the juggernaut. :)

The Eagles have Thomas Tapeh...I miss having guys like Jon Ritchie and Cecil Martin, true fullbacks. Tom Rathman...where have you gone???
Terrelle Smith is pretty good.
