Question

what are some drills that can help me?

If you have any questions on my body type or anything like that just ask and i get it to you?

Answer 1

You must have good peripheral vision and excellent lateral movement......you must also have quick reflexes.....and of course be able to run the 40 in 5 seconds or faster [ much faster if we are talking about NCAA or NFL]  learn all you can about Plyometrics [search for it on the internet] it's all about developing explosive speed and power.....oh and of course you need decent size.

Answer 2

A good football IQ and raw talent. Work out properly and watch alot of film.

Answer 3

you need to work on lateral movement. You need to do side shuffles, you need to crossover, ( so you can drop into coverage), you need to learn how to read both the QB's and guards. Enter "How to play linebacker in football" into youtube. There are 15 videos that you need to watch. Once you have watched them, you have to practice.
