Like in the pros, it depends upon the offensive set. There might be none, or there might be as many as five. In the pure wishbone, there are none: three running backs and two tight ends. In a pro set, there are two (plus two backs and a TE). In a three-WR set, the third guy is sometimes called a flanker or slot man.
