  1. line backer

    A linebacker is a position in American and Canadian football, typically played on the defensive team. Linebackers are usually positioned behind the defensive line and are responsible for providing both run and pass defense by rushing the quarterback, covering receivers, or defending against the run. They are often key in calling defensive plays and are considered the "quarterback of the defense." Linebackers need to be fast, strong, agile, and intelligent to quickly read and react to offensive plays.
