He’s an NFL fullback, and there aren’t a lot of those left anymore.

Common ground

Perspective signals

Claim 3: “Beck, 30, is entering his eighth NFL season”
DISPUTED
There is conflicting evidence regarding his tenure and age. One web source states he signed with the Houston Texans and was entering his fifth season, while the claim states he is 30 and entering his eighth. Wikipedia confirms his birth date as May 15, 1996, which would make him 28 or 29 depending on the current date, not 30.
