Pro style can be generalized more than just saying it uses a power running game and tries to be balanced between run/pass.

Pro style typically has two backs (FB and HB) although many pro teams use a one back formation. Also, the pro style is correlated with the use of a TE or multiple tight ends.

Pro teams will spread it out without TE's but typically only in special situations.

Many of the spread teams in college doesn't use a TE very much, but this is something that's essential to the pro style.

You also see the use of an "H" back who is like an extra TE that is used for blocking purposes much like a hybrid FB/TE.
