Any decent middle linebacker is a better athlete then almost any other kind of athlete.

You beat me to it. A MLB on a team is the most amazing mix of speed, strength and agility that you can find in sports. On one play the MLB is making open field takles on a RB and the next he is doing pass coverage on a 3WR set. That is a tough set of skills to encompass.
