You know what? For myself, I kind of like the spy because it takes another guy out of coverage or another guy out of rushing.
I don't want to be making tackles.
A little more movement of the defensive side of the ball, some rules that will be unnoticed, but a big rule will be allowing the jack linebacker to move out of the box sideline to sideline.
In middle school, I played quarterback. I was at a tiny school, so you played offense and defense - I played linebacker, and in high school I stopped playing around my sophomore year because of my acting stuff.
I prefer to play inside linebacker.
I've tried to bring the mentality of the outside linebacker to the inside and the rough, tough style of an inside linebacker to the outside. The middle linebacker always has been known as kind of a big plugger. Outside guys are known to be able to run. I just try to make big plays wherever I am.
When I'm lined up in the middle, it's a lot of freelancing and blitzing.
Every linebacker that plays in the NFL wants to be a starter.
Oftentimes, the post safety will eye me up pre-snap a lot of times and know where I am.
It would be fun if I were 40 pounds heavier and a little bit faster to get in and play some linebacker.
I wondered if teams were going to find a place for me, but the Bears said linebacker right away. I tried outside linebacker first and I was terrible. Then inside seemed to fit me.
I had a full-ride football scholarship as a middle linebacker.
I'm used to going out amongst giants and being the smallest linebacker.
I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones.
It really doesn't matter to me whether it's defensive end or linebacker. I just want to play the game of football. I've been working on linebacker drills since I got out to Fischer Sports in Phoenix.
