RB, Power Back - the Power Back uses brute force to gain extra yards and power through the middle of the field. Although not as fast as other backs, the power back's sheer strength provides the necessary push to gain crucial yards in short yardage situations. Their lack of speed may hinder them from breaking free for long runs, though.
RB, Speed Back - the Speed Back is quick on his feet and the fastest of the RB archetypes. His elusiveness combined with his speed makes him a dangerous threat to any defense, gashing them for big chunks of yardage. However, they are not as strong as the other archetypes, so they may get brought down a bit easier.
RB, All-Purpose Back - the All-Purpose Back does it all. Need them to run the ball? Or maybe catch some passes? They can do each one at a respectable level. They are a jack of all trades, but a master of none.
RB, Receiving Back - the Receiving Back works more in the passing game than the other archetypes. A receiving threat out of the backfield can be deadly, and these players can do it at a very high level. This may be of consequence to their running ability, however, compared to the other archetypes.
RB, Blocking Back - the Blocking Back is more of a fullback than a running back. Meaning, they are not as well off running or catching the ball as the others. What they can do, though, is help the team in pass protection and be a lead blocker if there is another running back in the system. This is the support role of the running back group that can expect lower individual stats.
