What is a running back?
Technically there is no difference. The term "Running Back" is generally used to describe Fullbacks, Tail Backs and Half Backs. - As it used to be, full backs were the faster, smaller players in the backfield, and halfbacks were the bigger, stronger blockers. But, as the positions evolved, half backs/ tail backs are now the "feature" backs. Typically smaller and faster, and get more carries than today's full back, which is now the bigger, stronger player, who typically block for half/tail backs. - Running Backs include tail/half backs. Such as Ladanian Tomlinson, Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers, Willie Parker, etc. - Full Backs are the bigger stronger backs, and are considered a separate category from the "other" running backs. Full backs today are players like Mike Alstott, Lorenzo Neal, etc So to be explicit, when someone thinks of a "running back" they're typically thinking of a tail back, or half back, as it's more commonly referred to.
What is the difference between a fullback and a running back?
The half-back is the primary rusher on an offense, and had a main job of gaining yardage by running the ball, or running a route and making receptions. Half-backs tend to be small (5'8"-5'10") and agile. The fullback typically runs much less than the halfback, and primarily blocks for the halfback and protects for the quarterback. Some fullbacks also catch passes well. Fullbacks tend to be around 6'0", and are bulky and powerful.
What do fullbacks do in football?
There isn't a specific answer to this question. Theoretically the difference between a full-back or half-back is simply a question of formation. The same player could be said to be in any of those positions depending on where he is in relation to other players. In a standard Power I formation, where you have the quarterback behind the center, a back behind the qb and a second back behind the first back - you would have, in order: Quarterback - Fullback - Running Back. The same players in a formation, such as a Split back where the backs stand side-by-side behind the quarter back would yield: Quarterback - Running Back - Running Back. So it's merely a question of semantics. In the current NFL, players who are often used as Full Backs, are traditionally used as blockers for the other running back. This player is often a larger running back. It's not uncommon to see these players block, receive passes and rush the ball.
