Here’s a saying I’ve referenced before in previous articles, “The game of football is won in the trenches.” What the saying is referring to is large, powerful men up front both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball, who help to not only regulate but greatly impact the outcome of the game.
Winning games in the National Football League takes a lot. It isn’t easy, but it’s possible. A staple of any good football team is an even better defensive line. One position in particular, defensive end, is critical for any defense’s success.
Commonly known as an edge rusher, a defensive end’s sole purpose in the NFL is to make pressure, chaos and mayhem against opposing quarterbacks.
