The honor caught Fowler, a bruising do-it-all back, a bit by surprise.
"I was just sitting there, nervous, my name was the last one to get called, like awwww man," Fowler said. "Because I was hoping to win that award. It's something very dear to me to be voted by your teammates as the team captain.
One site has actually picked Fowler as an All-American. NFL.com College Football 24/7 2014 All-American Team

He'll most certainly make an NFL team, and probably play for a long time. Several teams still use a fullback.

Versatile fullbacks are a precious commodity. John Connor will knock your head off in the B gap, but Orson Charles beat him out for a roster spot because he was a more versatile player. Fowler will be a beast in the NFL, not only will be make a squad but he will almost certainly be drafted.
