When the offensive team breaks the huddle and comes up to the line of scrimmage to start the play, the first offensive player to touch the ball is the center. The center snaps the ball to the quarterback and the quarterback will either hand the ball to a running back, throw the ball to a receiver, or run the ball himself.

Stopping a player from running the ball in football typically refers to the defensive team's efforts to prevent the offensive player, usually a running back, from advancing the ball downfield. This involves tackling the player, blocking their path, or disrupting the play through strategic positioning and teamwork. Successful execution can result in negative yardage for the offense, forcing them to reconsider their game plan and potentially leading to turnovers or stops on downs. Ultimately, it’s crucial for the defense to minimize the offensive team's progress and maintain control of the game.
