Linebacker
A linebacker (LB) in American football is a versatile defensive player who lines up behind the defensive line and in front of the defensive backfield. Linebackers play a crucial role in both stopping the run and defending against the pass. Linebackers need a combination of strength, speed, and football intelligence to effectively read plays, tackle ball carriers, and cover receivers. They are pivotal in both run defense and pass coverage. There are typically three types of linebackers: Middle Linebacker (MLB): Often considered the "quarterback" of the defense, Strong-side Linebacker (SLB): Also known as the "Sam" linebacker, and Weak-side Linebacker (WLB): Also known as the "Will" linebacker.
