Brent Leanrd Fullwood is an American former professional football player who was a running back in the National Football League (NFL).[1] He was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the first round (fourth overall pick) of the 1987 NFL draft[2] after finishing sixth in 1986 Heisman Trophy voting.[3]
Fullwood played four NFL seasons, from 1987 to 1990. His best year as a pro came during the 1989 season, when he led the Packers in rushing with 821 yards and was selected to the 1990 Pro Bowl.[4] However Sports Illustrated listed Fullwood as one of the Packers biggest draft busts, noting a high rate of fumbles and a 1990 incident when he removed himself from a game against the Chicago Bears claiming illness, but was seen later that evening at a nightclub.[5] After this incident the Packers traded Fullwood on October 9, 1990 to the Cleveland Browns for a 7th Round draft choice, however he only dressed for one game for the Browns who waived him 2 months after signing him.[6] During the 1991 and 1992 offseasons he was briefly signed by the Miami Dolphins and then Los Angeles Raiders but was released by both before the regular playing season began.[7][8]
