NFL Combine has started. What is "the box?"

Matacavich said "most teams are talking about me in the middle, MIKE linebacker. Wherever they put me, I'll be happy. Definitely when I'm in the box, I feel like that's when I'm in my element. I see more than your average person can see when they're in the box. I definitely think that's where they want to put me."




I really don't know what the box is or what MIKE is...
I am guessing it has to do with Linebackers
and how they play certain "things"
but shouldn't they be thinking
outside the box?

Will this guy get Drafted?

My guess is No.

In the box is between the tackles, involves everyone but the WR's and DB's. It is where the guts of the game.

The Box is a place you put yourself in when you
have no clue as to what you should be doing when the
football coaches blow the whistle and yell go! And you
have no idea which way to go. Thus, you are in a Box.
