A halfback (HB) is an offensive position in American football, whose duties involve lining up in the offensive backfield and carrying the ball on most rushing plays, i.e. a running back. When the principal ball carrier lines up deep in the backfield, and especially when that player is placed behind another player (usually a blocking back), as in the I formation, that player is instead referred to as a tailback.

  • L'halfback è uno dei ruoli d'attacco delle squadre di football americano e canadese. In genere è più agile e veloce rispetto al fullback, che è molto più lento e massiccio. La sua principale mansione è la corsa, ma varie volte viene impiegato nel ricevere la palla in lanci corti. Quando non viene impiegato per correre o ricevere il suo compito diventa la protezione del quarterback da eventuali difensori della squadra avversaria. (it)
