FB Michael Burton. Burton was used in the preseason more as another tight end/H-back than a traditional fullback, although he did line up occasionally in the backfield. He is strictly a blocker, but was thrown to a few times in the Patriots preseason game. Head coach Todd Monken likes having a fullback.

Burton projected to make 53-man roster; Monken prefers fullback in scheme.

The source projects Burton will make the 53-man roster as the fullback. Head coach Todd Monken prefers having a fullback; the team was expected to draft one but didn't, so Burton signed. By keeping him, the tight end room can become three players instead of four, freeing roster space. Burton was used in preseason more as a tight end/H-back than traditional fullback, strictly a blocker but was thrown to a few times in the Patriots preseason game.
