I just did what you suggested, and I am more confused now.
In addition to the players you have listed above, Doc Blanchard ('45), Alan Ameche ('54), & Steve Owens ('69) are listed as FB, which I assume means fullback.
I then looked up 'fullback' in Ask.com, and found that the fullback position is not often recognized as a running back any longer.
In recent years the position has evolved to be more a blocker than a runner, with occasional pass-catching duties. The remaining prominent fullbacks in the http://www.answers.com/topic/national-football-league are typically employed for breaking through tight defensive alignments, often in short-yardage situations. As a result, fullbacks are typically less known for speed and agility than for muscularity and the ability to avoid being tackled by knocking down defenders.
Taking all this into consideration then....there would be a total of eight players on the above list....7 offensive, and 1 defensive!...Go figure!
