Who is a "linebacker"?

A linebacker is a player on the defensive team in American football who lines up behind the defensive line. Their main job is to stop the other team’s running plays, cover receivers in short passes, and pressure the quarterback. Linebackers are often fast and strong, able to react quickly to the ball and tackle players. They are key to both defending against runs and passes and can sometimes blitz, which means rushing the quarterback directly. Their role is important in making tackles and reading the offensive plays to help their team stop the opposing team from scoring.
