fullback 全卫,进攻组成员,位于四分位quarterback和半位halfback之后,和halfback合称为跑卫 (running back, RB) 。在冲锋进攻时,通常是由体型壮硕的全卫跑在前面开路,而由中卫跟在其后持球冲锋。他们必须在接到四分卫的「递球」(handoff) 后立刻抱紧球,看哨锋与其它队友阻挡的情形,来寻找任何的「洞」(hole,缝隙) ,以决定最有利的冲刺路线,并躲避防守球员加诸其身的任何擒抱与撞击。而在抛传进攻时,他们则可以前冲而变成接球员,或是协助「内攻击线锋」的队友们,来保护四分卫。速度与灵敏是跑卫的主要条件。0 j& t, x9 l" x+ [8 ]

Grey是加拿大的1904年到1911年的总督,原本想捐个杯给冰球比赛的,可惜让另一位爵士捷足先登了,只好退而求其次捐给并不是很popular的橄榄球了。
