Best Answer

Running backs often choose to run up the middle because it is the shortest distance to gain yards and score touchdowns. Running towards the sidelines can lead to being pushed out of bounds or tackled for a loss of yards. Running up the middle allows the running back to follow their blockers and find gaps in the defense to gain more yards.
