the goal of a linebacker is to provide either an extra run protection or extra pass protection based on the defense play being executed by the team at hand. 
Sounds pretty hard. Are they really strong? I am not a strong man.

One of the outside linebackers is usually called into either blitz or pass coverage to make up for the missing DB. In the NFL and college football, this alignment is used mainly in short yardage situations or near the goal line. It is commonly used in high school football.
