It rlly interesting seeing the evolution of linebackers from the bulky and stout Ray Lewis’s and Bobby Wagners to the more slim and rangey physiques like Leonard and Fred Warner. Even all these linebackers nowadays that used to play safety like Devin Lloyd who’s arguably the best linebacker of this draft

I’m a high school football player and I play wide receiver on offence and outside linebacker on defence. I played corner last year but this year I took the off season seriously and kept my weight but I’m WAY stronger now. Benching 235 lbs at 155 lbs at 17 and I’m 5’8. So yeah and me doing wrestling and track has helped me out a lot too. And I completely agree the scheme is changing but it’s good to have those big guys too

I was just telling my old teammate this and how we played LB’s during the wrong time (2013) we were both 5’11/6’0 ranging 195-210 and 10 years ago the top LB’s in the nation coming out of H.S. Were literally 6’1+ 220lbs+!

I played in a 3-4 most my life and was an ILB. I loved it and found it east because I had set assignments and gaps almost every play. Then in High School I went to a 4-3. I never understood how to play MLB in a 4-3 lol. You have to have great instincts and really be able to shed blocks to have any effect.

Nice video but it’s really basic. It’s more for people that never played before. Wish they would’ve explained the difference between 4-3 OLBs and 3-4 OLBs for the beginners.

@TheXiaolin123 Жыл бұрын

4-3 OLBs are LBs that can play ILB in a 3-4. 3-4 OLBs can play DE in a 4-3.

I'm five foot five, 130 lbs. I know I don't have the size to be a linebacker, but I got the attitude. I got the aggressiveness, and I'm used to brawling with bigger dudes so I got that toughness. But the guys at my desired positon are are all 180 pounds and above. What do I do to make sure I stand out and get selected as a LB?

Work your agility and speed. Do lots of coverage drills. Build your upper body so you can run stop and shed blocks multiple plays. Study your playbook so you know your assignments in different fronts. Ask for advice and guidance from coach.

@kennycai8695 Ай бұрын

I'm no expert, but you want my advice, you can try to take some snaps as an OLB, but I would strongly advise you to bulk up just a little bit if you want to play this position, cause you will need to get bigger in order to get past the offensive line. Otherwise, I think the strong safety position is perfect for you, since strong safeties are kind of the middle ground between a linebacker and cornerback. But like a commenter said, you should turn to your coaches for guidance, since they know best.

@Kamixkaze Жыл бұрын

Depends on which one if your playing free safety your just watching the QB and double team anyone on ur side. Whilst Strong safeties your stopping the run you can cover a HB FB RB so in short a Strong Safety your just a smaller linebacker. Well actually both safeties are just cornerbacks but play deeper
