Who is a "defensive back"?
A defensive back is a player on the defensive team in American football who plays in the secondary, which is the area behind the defensive line and linebackers. Their main job is to defend against passes, prevent receivers from catching the ball, and support the defense in stopping big plays. Defensive backs can be cornerbacks, safeties, nickelbacks, or dimebacks, each with a specific role in covering receivers or helping stop runs. They are usually fast, agile, and skilled at reading the quarterback’s throws to make tackles or interceptions.
