Honorable Mention: Anthony Sherman

The Chiefs own a rich history of first-class fullbacks, from Kimble Anders and Tony Richardson to Christian Okoye.
Anthony Sherman, who agreed to an extension on Wednesday, is well on his way to cementing his name among the franchise’s elite.
I can confirm @APdaveskretta’s report that Anthony Sherman’s contract extension is for three years and worth up to $7 million.

Unlike Anders and Okoye, he’ll never see an abundance of handoffs. Sherman fits the mold of Richardson (throughout the latter portion of his career); a backfield battering ram who occasionally showcases a broader skill set.
Kansas City’s steamroller is currently Pro Football Focus’ (PFF) No. 1 overall fullback and ranks first in blocking.
