Michael Robinson said he might retire if the Seahawks don’t re-sign him this offseason and that would mean the only fullback left on the roster would be Derrick Coleman and Spencer Ware. Small adds some insurance to the position, even though his size is nothing like his name. Sure, he’s only 5-foot-8, but he is a whopping 247 pounds. His size gives him an advantage as a lead blocker, which Seattle would love in their run-first offense.

Grade: B+
