Who is a "fullback"?
A fullback is a player in American football who lines up behind the offensive line and is mainly responsible for blocking defenders, helping protect the quarterback, and opening up paths for the running back. While they may also run with the ball on short-yardage plays, their main role is to support the offense by clearing a path for the running back or catching short passes. Fullbacks are often strong and tough, as their job requires physical play to create space for other offensive players.
