power back
Electricity comes again
Power back is a football term for a running back whose primary asset is strength rather than speed or agility.
A power back excels at gaining tough yards through contact, breaking tackles, and wearing down defenders over the course of a game: They brought in the power back for short-yardage situations.
The position contrasts with smaller, quicker backs who rely on elusiveness.
