Defensive Tackle
A defensive tackle (DT) is a position in American football that will typically line up on the line of scrimmage, opposite one of the offensive guards, however he may also line up opposite one of the tackles. Defensive tackles are typically the largest and strongest of the defensive players.

Instead there is a left and right def ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
