Running back numbers in football typically refer to the jersey numbers worn by players in that position. In the NFL, running backs usually wear numbers ranging from 20 to 49.

However, as long as they adhere to the rules regarding player positioning and formations, teams can creatively utilize their offensive players in the backfield.
