About 500lbs is the average for most NFL halfbacks. Most NFL fullbacks dont carry the ball much but can squat more due to their primary usage in short yardage situations and in plays where they block either for the quarterback in the pocket or to open lanes for a halfback. However, these are just averages and being able to squat a lot doesn't equate to raw speed. I can squat 320 for 3 reps and cant run anything faster than a 15s 100m. Also, running backs generally are evaluated for their intangible skills such as finding the gaps and breaking tackles. Today weight lifting and speed training is more important at the high school level as a kid who can squat 320-400lbs can probably knock over a 5'10" 180lb linebacker with some ease even with little momentum. At the higher collegeiate levels and definately in the NFL no matter how much you can squat and get under the pads of a 6'3' 240lb linebacker you aren't gonna take him down with your legs. Most of the power comes from your running abilities and skill at breaking tackles and trucking people.

I used to play middle linebacker, and a bit of defensive end, and occasionally blocked as a tight end and would run as a fullback as I weighed more than our running back and wasn't as fast but could hit like a ton of bricks. Also, I am obsessed with football!

What is the average weight of an NFL player?
There is not an average weight, per se, of a NFL player. Rather, there is an ideal weight for each position. There is a lot more than that, but the NFL Draft reports do a great job of comparing the current crop of NFL prospects. The lists is compiled by numerous scouts and analysts, and the majority of the official results are derived annually at the NFL Combine. The "average" or tiers of prospects are classified into "measurables" like weight, height, strength, speed, agility, football IQ and crazy things like medical history and so forth. Then there are "un-measurables", like drive and determination. It shows that "averages" in the NFL are really only statistics to begin an evaluation. And like any investment's prospectus, the info isn't always worth the paper its printed on, so there is no guarantee.
