Former Wisconsin FB inks a big-time extension with the Miami Dolphins
The 2023 Wisconsin Badgers do not list a fullback on the depth chart. It appears to be the official end to a decades-long era of fantastic fullback play in Madison.

He and the Miami Dolphins agreed on a three-year extension worth up to $17.2 million, tying him to the Dolphins through the 2026 season.
