Who is a "middle linebacker"?
A middle linebacker is a player in American football who lines up in the center of the linebacker group, behind the defensive line. Their main job is to read the opposing team's offense and make quick decisions about whether to stop a running play or cover a pass. Middle linebackers are often the leaders of the defense, calling out plays and directing teammates. They need to be strong, fast, and smart, as they have to cover a lot of ground on the field and make tackles, often being involved in both stopping the run and defending against passes.
Example
The middle linebacker called out defensive adjustments before the snap.
He is known for his hard hits and leadership as a middle linebacker.
The middle linebacker intercepted the pass and returned it for a touchdown.
