FULLBACK The fullback is best known for doing one of three things: Catching a free kick from the other team, kicking the ball off to the other team when starting a game or during a game, or providing the last line of defense between the ball carrier and that fullback’s try line. The fullback will almost always hold back from attacking plays in case the ball is turned over and kicked away. Sometimes, though, the fullback will line up between the centers and wings to be used as an extra attacker for more strength. |
