Decathalete doesn't require as much atheltic ability as you think, due to the fact that track is more speed and power than agility and quickness.

I'd have to say linebacker, because in addition to the stuff you mentioned, it also requires a lot of intelligence and tougness.
Um...where do I start?
Well, decathletes are some of the most athletic people, due to the fact that a major part of their performance is agility and quickness. A lot of their ability is in shifting centers of balance, knowing how to compete on a mental and intellectual level....just like your linebackers.
