his name is Owen Schmitt this is the story about him MOBILE, Ala. -- Owen Schmitt has yet to mangle any face masks during this week's Senior Bowl practice, although there still is time for him to add to his famed collection.

Legend has it that he broke 10 face masks during his West Virginia career, a testament to the way the bruising, 6-foot-1, 247-pound fullback plays the game.

Owen Schmitt is showing impressive versatility at the Senior Bowl.
"He's got a hard head and won't quit coming at you," Penn State linebacker Dan Connor said admiringly. "I like his style. He's old-school. He's tough and rugged. Going against him … it's like 1972 football."

Schmitt, playing on the North team, is widely considered one of the two top fullbacks in the NFL draft, along with Arkansas' Peyton Hillis, who is playing on the South team.

It didn't take Schmitt very long this week to introduce himself to his teammates, specifically the defensive guys.

On Monday, after hauling in a short pass out of the backfield, Schmitt planted California safety Thomas DeCoud in the turf, then dragged him for about 5 yards.

No problem, just thought I would point that out for you.

[Confused]

schmitt is a beast. I want him here in buffalo. he's a short yardage monster and draftboy hates him.

[VeggieMan14]

I have been saying this since West Virginia Played Maryland on ESPN. This Guy is a beast. How many facemasks has he broken. Ridiculos. We could steal him in the 3rd round. Imagine him lead blocking for Marshawn!

[gr8slayer]

I'd take him for a second day pick.

Yup :up: I'd take him for a third.

BTW, calling a third round pick a second day pick is going to take some getting used to.

I agree, a lot of people still don't even know about this even though it has been posted before.

Yeah, that's kind of old news but I'm glad they are doing it that way. Last year day one was way too long.

[PECKERWOOD]

Owen Schmitt in the 4th round!

[VeggieMan14]

Owen Schmitt in the 4th round!

Somehow i have a feeling he won't be there in the forth. we need to go after him in the third

[gr8slayer]

It's one thing to break Joe Sophmores face mask in college. In the pros he'll be going up against far superior competition, I'd like to see him try to break Ray Lewis' face mask.

Im not saying he would do that but i mean it would give a huge body in front of marshawn to open up a couple of holes.

[Confused]

Just curious - maybe someone knows:

What round was the first fullback drafted in last year?

[Confused]

Brian Leonard. he may have been listed as an RB.

Brian Leonard. he may have been listed as an RB.

You are right! In the 2007 NFL Draft wiki, Leonard was listed as a FB taken in the second round at pick 52.
