The St. Louis Rams have signed free agent fullback Mike Karney, the team announced today.
“Mike has proven to be a solid fullback since entering the league in 2004,” said Rams Head Coach Steve Spagnuolo. “We are excited that he is now a Ram and we looking forward to him being an effective part of our offense in the future.”
Karney spent his entire NFL career with New Orleans, after being drafted by the club in the fifth round (156th overall) of the 2004 NFL Draft. He has played in 75 games, starting 46.
Karney, 5-11, 255, experienced his best statistical season in 2006, where he set career highs in rushes (11), rushing yards (33), receptions (15) and receiving yards (96). Last season, he tied a career-high for touchdowns in a season (two).
