New York City, New York, March 31, 2016 (Newswire.com) - In recent years the NFL has seen the use of the fullback position decline, however Trevon Pendleton is looking to change that. Says Rick Serritella of NFL Draft Bible, "Trevon is moving up the charts and challenging to be one of the top 2-3 fullbacks in this draft class. There is not a fullback in the draft with better hands and athleticism." Pendleton is known for his tremendous blocking skills and helped pave the way for dynamic Michigan State rushing attack.

After weighting in at 5'11.5" and 241 lbs, Pendleton shocked those in attendance by running a 4.58 40 yard dash and ranged between 4.58 and 4.70. Trevon met with six teams privately post his NFL pro day.
