A defensive tackle is a player in American football who lines up close to the center of the opposing team's offensive line. Their main job is to stop the opposing team's running plays and to pressure the quarterback on passing plays. They try to break through the offensive line to tackle the player with the ball or disrupt the play. Defensive tackles are typically big, strong players who need to overpower blockers and control the line where the play starts to prevent the other team from advancing the ball.
