As an NFL prospect, few players were as well-respected for their tape knowledge and cerebral understanding of the game as former UCLA linebacker Jordan Zumwalt. Always an excellent interview for his genuine responses and insight into the Xs and Os aspect of the game, I asked Zumwalt about the Pittsburgh Steelers Cover 2 defense and the nuances of playing inside linebacker within the scheme. Zumwalt was admittedly a film guru in college, and I’ve listened to him break down the details of playing linebacker before, including certain tells he observes in offensive linemen that could key him to run or pass pre-snap.
