I've followed NFL football pretty closely for the past decade plus. I don't have any statistical data, but just what I've seen from looking at many rosters. If a team has four RBs on the roster, it's because one of them is actually a FB (like Drew VanMaanen). And even that is becoming rarer, as almost half of the league's teams didn't carry a FB in 2016. But I don't think I've ever seen a 53-man active roster with four HBs included.

Could keep going but carrying 4 running backs not including the fullback is common place. No not every team does it but if I had to guess it would be around 18-21 teams that do carry 4 non fullback running backs.

They played the Cardinals. The Bills played the Ravens.
What is the difference between politicians and stoners? Politicians don't inhale...they just suck.

Oof. Hill's getting a decent number of carries, but his numbers are rough.

Yeah, he has power. But it seems he hasn't quite adapted to the speed of the NFL.
