I love coaching Linebackers. Here are 3 reasons why Linebacker is the greatest position in all of sports. Versatility Linebackers are asked to do everything. One play they’re taking on a 300-pound Lineman. The next play they’re covering a speedy Running Back. Linebackers must run, tackle, cover, blitz, shed blocks, you name it. All in a day’s work. Mental Preparation Linebackers need to be dialed-in to the entire playbook. They are key to both defending the run and covering the pass. Linebackers must take great pride in scouting opponents and reading plays. They can never watch enough film. Teamwork The Linebackers are the connectors of the Defence. They must have great relationships with both the Defensive Linemen and Defensive Backs. The Linebackers are often the vocal leaders of the unit. They set the tone. — Football is the ultimate team sport, and every position is important. But there’s definitely something unique about that Linebacker spot.
