Roger Vick
Roger Vick is a former professional American football fullback in the NFL for the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles from 1987 to 1990. He played college football at Texas A&M University. He also played on the Orlando Thunder in the World League.
Though Vick had a decent but unspectacular career for his position, his selection during the 1987 NFL Draft was noteworthy as he was the only fullback selected in the first round. It is customary for fullbacks to be selected in the mid rounds or later, as fullbacks are often not considered as important as other skill players on offense, which was why many were surprised by the Jets taking Vick in the first round, especially with future All-Pro lineman Harris Barton still on the board.
