It depends on the team. A team is given a certain number of roster spots, and is at liberty to have quite a few Corner Backs listed on the roster. Some use 3, some use 7.

Also bear in mind that just because someone is listed as a Wide receiver or some other position, that doesn't mean they cannot be put in for a play to play another position. We often see this in the NFL. Recently the "wildcat formation" had the quarterback lining up at the wide receiver position - and for that play the quarterback was a wide receiver.

Essentially a team can have as few or as many corner backs as they would like, within the limits of the entire team roster.

Very few teams actually carry a specialist fullback. Most fullbacks tend to be 3rd string tightends or large/strong back-up halfbacks that can serve both roles. Only teams that have great runningbacks will have specialist blocking fullbacks. As an example, the Patriots do not have a specialist fullback, while a team the Jaguars does, as Maurice Jones-Drew is their best offensive player and the running game is their strength. The fullback was also created to work out of the true I-Formation and the true I-Formation is rarely used, so a guy who plays fullback is generally a player who can play another position too. So at the most one specialist fullback, or a tightend & a runningback designated as fullbacks to serve both roles, blocking and receiving.

A football pitch has 4 corners but, as for how many corners are taken during a game there's no set amount and can vary wildly depending on the teams who're playing and on how the match flows. The average number of corners per game is apparently around 11 though.
