Everyone needs a Left Tackle on their team.
You see, in football, the left tackle is widely considered to be one of the most important players on a team.
Most NFL quarterbacks are right-handed, so they often have their backs turned to players rushing towards them from the left side of the field when trying to complete a pass.
A good left tackle can prevent the quarterback from being tackled to the ground.
Most left tackles are crucial to ensuring the safety of the quarterback – and that usually requires a large frame and build – most weigh in at over 300 pounds and stand over six feet tall.
The greatest of left tackles can be known for their knowledge, skill, experience and physical talent.
And they must be able to multi-task by protecting the quarterback and executing the run blocking scheme.
