Who is a "lineman"?
A lineman is a player in American football or similar sports who plays at the starting line of each play and focuses on either protecting their team or stopping the opposing team. Offensive linemen block opponents to protect the quarterback and create space for runners, while defensive linemen try to tackle the quarterback or stop plays before they gain yardage. Linemen are known for their strength and ability to handle physical challenges in close-contact situations.
