Douglas was going to be a FB all along. I'm looking forward to seeing if he can become an elite blocker to go along with his running ability given limited carries.

Douglas really doesn't weigh enough to be a typical FB. This is not to say that he couldn't beef up and do a good job in the position but a significant part of the job of a FB is blocking at the point of attack against LB's who are heavier than Douglas. However, Douglas is faster than your typical FB and blocking technique can make all the difference. Should be interesting to see how Bobo uses him in the offense.
