1. tailback

   A tailback is a term used mainly in American and Canadian football. It generally refers to the offensive back who lines up farthest from the line of scrimmage or behind all the other offensive players, typically positioned three to five yards behind the quarterback. Their primary roles are to receive a hand-off from the quarterback and run the ball, provide pass-protection for the quarterback, and as a receiver for pass plays. They are also known as halfbacks or running backs.
