Linebacker Drills

Among football positions, linebacker is one of the most demanding. A linebacker must be equally skilled at run defense and pass defense
Linebackers must be quick so that they can cover large areas of the field. They must also be strong enough to defeat moving blockers and agile enough to make tackles in the open field
According to defensive football drills expert Tom Bass, linebacker drills should emphasize moving on the ball, defeating blocks, dropping into pass coverage, and blitzing the quarterback. Agility drills and interceptions drills are also helpful
