Best Answer

An "RB" is an abbreviation for "Running Back." His primary job is to run the ball after receiving a hand-off from the quarterback. Secondary roles include catching the ball and blocking to protect the quarterback on other pass plays. It's a glory position, since that other than the Quarterback, the Running back almost always touches the ball the most. All-time Professional examples would include Emmitt Smith (Cowboys), Barry Sanders (Lions), and Walter Payton (Bears). Current prominent professionals would include: Adrian Peterson (Vikings), Thomas Jones (Jets), and Brandon Jacobs (Giants).
