Running Back Drills

"The role of the running back has changed dramatically in recent years. Being able to carry the ball, make people miss tackles, and run over smaller defensive players no longer is enough. Today's running back must be a multi-faced athlete. He must be able to carry the ball 20-30 times a game, pick up blitzing linebackers, plus, on occasion, block the bigger defensive linemen. At the same time he must have the ability to catch passes like a tight end or wide receiver."
