Running back's stiff-arm
Hi guys,
What does "running back's stiff-arm" mean in the sentence:" She pulled me forward, parting the reporters with a running back's stiff-arm."
It's a sentence from Life's Golden Ticket by Brendon Burchard.
Could you simplify it/transform it?
Thank you.

Not being an American, I can only assume this is similar to rugby (the version of American football played without any of the padding and protection). In a contact sport you can use your outstretched arm to fend off opponents. A running back is, I think, an American footballer, part of whose job is to stop opponents from tackling.
