Written by Ryan Wright Twitter: @RyanWrightRNG Respect on the gridiron is earned, not given.

Written by Ryan Wright Twitter: @RyanWrightRNG As the game of football changes with offenses treading towards hurry-up and spread attacks, defenses are evolving to keep pace. Big hulking linebackers in the 6-foot 4-inch 250-pound range are not necessarily the need any more preferring sleek backers with speed who can stuff the run, cover a back, tight end and/or a slot, […]
