What position does rushing in American football? Running back or quarterback?
Wasn't IFBB pro Nathan Wonsley one of the best at rushing in the NFL for one season?
Rushing is when an offensive player takes a handoff (not a forward pass) behind the line of scrimmage and runs with the ball.
Could be the QB or other offensive player like a running back.
Running backs usually get the most opportunities. Some QBs run but only when necessary due to risk of injury.
The current trend is for highly mobile QBs who can escape the pass rush by running but also make all the throws like Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson.
Tom Brady is an example of a QB who can't run.
Running backs generally have short careers (3-5 years) because they take a lot of punishment and get injuries which slows them down.
Bo Jackson was a fantastic RB who suffered a career ending injury early in his career.
