  Because fullbacks don't often touch the ball, misconceptions about the position are easy to develop. But, Heimuli contends, that doesn't mean the position itself is easy. He likened playing fullback to a "physics game." "We're not the biggest, and we're not the fastest or the strongest necessarily, so we rely a lot on leverage," he said. "We literally play physics against these defensive guys where our whole goal is just to get low and bend over and see if we can outmaneuver people. It's a bruising position where it's a lot of hard hitting, a lot of contact - but we do have a reason for some of the things we do on the field." For that reason, the "shelf life" of fullbacks in the NFL is similar to that of running backs. The average length of a professional career for running backs is just under three years, and it is rare to see many continuing to play into their thirties. Heimuli's dream is to play professionally, but he also understands that an NFL career would likely be short and has a backup plan in place. As a human biology major, one of his long-term goals is to attend medical school and ultimately work as a pediatrician. - The Stanford Daily
