In the dynamic world of American football, formations play a crucial role in strategizing and executing plays. One such formation, the pro set, has been a staple for both professional and amateur teams.
Unlike the traditional I-formation, the pro set features two running backs aligned side by side, offering a versatile approach to both running and passing plays.
The pro set formation evolved from the three running back T-formation, with one halfback becoming a permanent wide receiver. This shift not only diversified offensive strategies but also created favorable matchups by removing a defensive player from the tackle box.
