FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Nick Bawden was a star quarterback in high school and went to San Diego State to play the position. He found himself buried on the Aztecs' depth chart as a sophomore and the coaching staff asked him to make the unconventional move to fullback. Bawden decided to stay rather than transfer and gradually learned the fullback position after early struggles. He became one of the best blocking fullbacks in the country and was a seventh-round pick of Detroit in 2018. Bawden now has a chance to be a key part of the Aaron Rodgers-led Jets offense.
