Full backs are fat and running back are elesive
So far, all of the NFL rookie running backs haven't fumbled in the 2009 regular season, but that will probably change in two weeks.

Running backs
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.
which college has put the most running backs in the nfl
I'm not sure really if this is the answer to your question but the patriots faced 4,098 running backs (combined 2005,2006,2007,2008,2009)
yes
No, although he had some very good running backs with Green Bay. Ahman Green played 7 seasons with Favre at Green Bay (2000-2006) and, except for 2005 when he was injured and played only 5 games, rushed for 1000+ yards in every season. He rushed for 8162 career yards with Green Bay and had a best season of 1883 rushing yards in 2003. Prior to Green, Dorsey Levins rushed for 1000+ yards in two seasons (1997 and 1999) and Edgar Bennett rushed for 1067 yards in 1995. In his one season (2008) with the New York Jets, Thomas Jones rushed for 1312 yards.
