Elite Linebackers must develop a number of different skills.

Here's a checklist:

Stance

It all starts here.

A Linebacker should be comfortable in their stance, and should have the ability to move in any direction at the snap.

Movement

There are a few different movements a Linebacker must master in the Box.

They include the Shuffle, the Scrape (Alley Run), and the full-out Sprint.

Reading the Play

Whether you're reading the Offensive Line, the Backfield, or a combination of the two (the Triangle), a good read is vital to making the play.

Block Destruction

A Linebacker can't be productive if they're stuck on a block.

Linebackers must master the art of Block Destruction.

Tackling

This is a no-brainer.

Great Linebackers are great tacklers.

This includes using proper angles, understanding leverage, and then using great technique at the point of contact.

Pass Coverage

Linebackers are vital to a team's pass coverage plan.

Whether being asked to play Zone Coverage, Match Coverage, or Man Coverage, a Linebacker must develop great techniques for covering the pass.

Blitzing

An elite Linebacker should be able to get after the Quarterback.

This includes both interior blitzes and blitzes off the edge.

Ball Disruption

Good Defences take the ball away from their opponents.

Linebackers should develop the skills to rip and strip the ball from any ball carrier.

Complete Package

Linebackers are asked to do a lot.

They are equally involved in stopping the run, covering the pass, and blitzing the Quarterback.

Developing the skills on this checklist can help any Linebacker round out their game and become unstoppable on the field.

[Jon Svec @JonSvecX]

There are three types of Linebacker Movement in the Box.

Shuffle

Scrape

Shoot

There is a time and place for each one, and they all have pros and cons.

Once these are learned and drilled, a Linebacker will transition automatically between all three.

Here are some thoughts:

Shuffle

This is the best type of Linebacker movement.

It's powerful, and allows for great change of direction.

The downfall: it's slow.

When using a Shuffle, the Linebacker is completely square to the line of scrimmage.

Key coaching points are to keep a low pad level and to use great vision in the Shuffle.

Scrape

A Scrape (or Alley Run) is a faster type of movement.

Now the Linebacker has turned their hips and they are running their feet.

The shoulders, however, remain square to the line of scrimmage.

A Scrape is faster than a Shuffle, but it is harder to change direction.

Shoot

This is a full turn and run.

Versus a fast flowing play, or if the Running Back bounces to the outside, a Linebacker must Shoot.

This is the fastest type of movement, and the worst for change of direction.
