What is a fullback in football?
At one time in American Football, all four players in the backfield stood fairly close together. One stood slightly behind the rest. He was called the fullback. The backfield players were given names according to how far back they were from the front line or line of scrimmage. The closest player was the quarterback. Then came the halfback(s). Then came the fullback. If a halfback played off to the side, he was a wing back or wing. If he played far out to the side, he was a wide out. Normally halfbacks weighed less than fullbacks. Sometimes, a halfback will play as far back as the full back. Then he would be called a tailback.
Why are the backs called backs?
Backs are called backs because they are in back of the line of scrimmage. In the old tee-formation, the farthest offensive guy from the line of scrimmage was the fullback, because he was all the way at the end of the tee. Similarly, the halfback was positioned halfway between the fullback and the line of scrimmage, and the quarterback was positioned one-fourth of the way between the line of scrimmage and the fullback. Other formations, of course, are used these days, but the old names for the positions has persisted.
