Today we're introducing those fleet-footed pass-intercepting/deflecting superstars, defensive backs!
This post will consist of a rundown of the skills needed to play the position well as well as a general overview of the role.
A defensive back must have extraordinary speed, be a sure tackler, and have above-average pass catching ability.
On running plays, they are responsible for attacking the line of scrimmage, shutting off running lanes, and pursuing the ball carrier.
On pass plays, DBs may drop into zone coverage, cover a receiver man-to-man, break up passes, blitz the QB, or catch the ball for an interception.
As a defensive back, you will be playing one of the most exciting positions on the team. On each and every play, you may have the opportunity to make the play that will stop a touchdown and allow your team to win the game.
Being able to play this demanding position with a positive (NOT COCKY!) attitude is essential for success. You must look forward to being in on a touchdown-saving tackle, deflecting the deep pass at the last moment or, best of all, making an interception.
