Marcel Reece (2008-2016)

During his time with the Oakland Raiders, Marcel Reece went from a member of the practice squad, to one of the better fullbacks in the entire NFL. Playing with the Raiders from 2008 through the 2016 NFL season, Reece was named to the Pro Bowl four times, while becoming a second-team All-Pro back in 2013.

Entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Washington Redskins, Reece found himself in Miami, before coming over to the Raiders. A truly dominant player out of the backfield for the Raiders, Reece was able to make plays in the run, and pass game, while serving as a tremendous blocking back.

He was released in September of 2016, a move that came as a quite a surprise considering how consistent a player he had been for the Raiders. Still, there is no doubt that he is one of the better fullbacks in team history, and while he finished up his career playing for the Seattle Seahawks, it was his production as a member of the Raiders that fans of the team will remember.
