Seems like a scrub...but I thought the same about the Samoan.
Jerome Jean-Marie Felton (born July 3, 1986) is an American football fullback who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at Furman.
Felton has also played for the Carolina Panthers.
Felton is a 2004 graduate of Sequoyah High School, Madisonville, Tennessee, where he was a two-way starter at fullback and middle linebacker. He rushed for over 3,000 yards and compiled over 300 tackles in his three-year career. He was a three-time team offensive MVP, All-County, and All-Region selection, served as team captain, rushed for 1,300 yards, and finished second on his team with 104 tackles in 2003.
College career
Felton was All-conference as a senior, in 2007, and closed out his career as Furman’s all-time record holder in scoring with 414 points. In 2006 he was named First-team All-SoCon and helped lead Furman to an 8-4 record, earn a playoff berth, and finish ranked No. 12 in The Sports Network national poll. In 2005 he helped Paladins to an 11-3 record, NCAA I-AA semifinal playoff finish, and No. 3 final national ranking. He led in rushing with 940 yards and scored a team leading 20 touchdowns and set a school single season scoring record with 124 points. In 2004 he began the season in a reserve role but by midseason took over the starting fullback job, beating out a pair of seniors in the process.
