They're not the quintessential fullback type. Nonetheless, you still have to play, regardless of your size. A page of photos Gene Comella is in town for the Super Bowl, as are his other fullback-playing sons, ready to enjoy themselves in an RV parked in the Raymond James Stadium lot. Matt just graduated from Northeastern and hopes to get an NFL tryout this spring, just as Greg did out of college. John Paul will be a redshirt sophomore at Boston College this fall.
Athleticism runs in the family.
Comella's mother, Brianne, and sister, Erin, are training for the Boston Marathon. Blocking is Greg's passion, as well as mine and John Paul's. We grew up as kids and always played backyard tackle football. There was always stuff going on out in the yard, trying to kill each other. The fullback's job is to block and then receive the ball and lastly to carry the ball.
