Build your Favorite Mizzou Football Player: Linebacker

Missouri has a long line of players who have excelled at their respective positions and have individual traits that help make them stand out. You know, like Drew Lock’s arm strength or the athletic ability and quick twitch of a guy like Sheldon Richardson.

Which is a good starting point for this question: How would you build your ideal player? We’ll start this week with the wide outs.

The makings of the best linebackers are broken down to these categories:

  1. Tackling
  2. Coverage
  3. Playmaking

Tackling and Playmaking: Sean Weatherspoon; 2006-2009
