What do you call a running back who also carries groceries?
A bag carrier!
Why This Joke Works
"Bag carrier" is a real expression for someone doing the less glamorous carrying work, and it's exactly what a running back does — carries things (ball or bags) through gaps and around defenders. The player's athletic skills translate seamlessly to grocery logistics.
