slotback
Interior offensive hybrid
A slotback is an offensive player in American and Canadian football who lines up in the "slot"—the gap between the offensive line and a wide receiver.
The position combines elements of running back and receiver, typically used for short passes and misdirection plays.
The slotback found a seam in the zone coverage.
