1. Slotback

   Slotback, sometimes referred to as an A-back or slot receiver, is a position in gridiron football. The "slot" is the area between the last offensive lineman on either side of the center and the wide receiver on that side. A player who lines up between those two players and behind the line of scrimmage fills that "slot." The slotback position is a fixture of Canadian football and indoor football where they act as extra receivers. It is also used in American football where the position requires a versatile player, who must combine the receiving skills of a wide receiver, the ball-carrying skills of a running back, and the blocking skills of a tight end.A similarly named position is the slot receiver, who is the third wide receiver in a 3-receiver set, the one who lines up between the outermost receiver and the end of the offensive line. Slotbacks are often as many as five yards behind the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped and, in the Canadian and indoor game, may also make a running start toward the line of scrimmage before the snap. In most forms of American football, this would be an illegal motion, although a few professional leagues such as the World Football League and XFL allowed forward motion.

1. Slotback

   Slotback is a position in gridiron football. The "slot" is the area between the last offensive lineman on either side of the line of scrimmage and the wide receiver on that side. A player who lines up between those two players and behind the line of scrimmage is a slotback. The position appears primarily in Canadian football, but is also used at times in American football. The slotback is similar to the wide receiver but also has many of the same traits as a running back; a slotback lines up closer to the offensive line and often farther back than a wide receiver. Slotbacks are often as many as five yards behind the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped and, in the Canadian game, may also make a running start toward the line of scrimmage prior to the snap.
