fullback 全卫，进攻组成员，位于四分位quarterback和半位halfback之后，和halfback合称为跑卫 (running back, RB) 。在冲锋进攻时，通常是由体型壮硕的全卫跑在前面开路，而由中卫跟在其后持球冲锋。他们必须在接到四分卫的「递球」(handoff) 后立刻抱紧球，看哨锋与其它队友阻挡的情形，来寻找任何的「洞」(hole,缝隙) ，以决定最有利的冲刺路线，并躲避防守球员加诸其身的任何擒抱与撞击。而在抛传进攻时，他们则可以前冲而变成接球员，或是协助「内攻击线锋」的队友们，来保护四分卫。速度与灵敏是跑卫的主要条件。

其中，Edmonton和Montreal成绩最好，经常在总决赛中会师。Edmonton捧回8次Gre杯，一次三连冠（54－56）和一次五连冠（74－79），三连冠就是在Kwong的时代。

In 1998, he was named a member of the Order of Canada.

The Order of Canada是对有杰出贡献的Canadian的一种国家奖赏，算是劳模之类的，由总督颁发。从1967年开始至今已有四千人获此殊荣。
The Order of Canada奖章有三种，分别是Member, Officer 和 Companion，算是金银铜牌吧。
