The Theory - GLB hates linebackers. LB SAs suck. The best LB you can build would be one wit no points invested in SAs and all Skill Points going directly into skills.

The Build - Slow/Cap-Built, rolled on Day 31 to maintain eligibility for PeeWee League his first season. All EQ bonuses go to Speed. Would be decent his first year, relatively worthless his for seasons 2-3 as I cap STR/TAK/VIS/AGI and pretty much ignore SPD (except for some training with AGI) until I've finished capping those skills. Here is his peak build, Season 10, Day 31 - Level 62.

Strength - 73.62
Speed - 81.39 (115)
Agility - 78.62
Jumping - 41.39
Stamina - 49.62
Vision - 69.62
Confidence - 48.62

Blocking - 20.39
Tackling - 65.62
Throwing - 8
Catching - 41.39
Carrying - 8
Kicking - 8
Punting - 8

Thoughts?

For a MLB, I don't like it. For an OLB that would rush a lot, I could see it working though.

I don't know how you arranged the building, but the numbers are very low. You could easily build a much better LB.

Not without Shed Blocks, it won't.

"LB SAs suck" is a myth.

I think it would work for a LOLB & possibly a ROLB who didn't blitz too much. The only thing I might change is taking Vision slightly higher , sacrificing a few points in Strength & maybe moving a few points of EQ into Agility.

I would definitely rather have higher agility via eq. 105 speed is plenty for a LB imo. Maybe in the future you need 110 but I think 115 with <80 agility is no good. I'd also rather trade 3 points of strength in order to get jumping capped. I think a build like that is primed to take advantage of SAs from AEQ. Also I think that is a player that is vulnerable to fake backs so you'd need either SV or an avoid fake % AEQ, or else you could use the football genius VA.
