blocking back
Offensive backfield protector
A blocking back is a football position—an offensive player whose primary job is to block for the ball carrier rather than run or catch passes.
The fullback traditionally serves this role, clearing paths through defensive lines: The blocking back opened a hole for the tailback to score.
