Running backs need speed, power, and quickness. Most of fullbacks and halfbacks are both running backs. The fullback may block while the halfback runs the ball. The 2 positions have to work together. They have to know both strategies. Running backs not only need to be fast, they need to be quick. They have to make quick second plays on the field. They need to find a hole and be there. MVP! Terrell Davis, running back for the Denver Broncos, was named last year's Most Valuable Player. SWEETNESS Payton Walter was a running back for the Chicago Bears. He ran for 16,726 yards in his career. MORE THAN ANYONE EVER!
