text:
In American football, a spy is a defensive player assigned to cover the opposing team's quarterback man-to-man. This strategy is generally used against "dual-threat" quarterbacks who are capable of rushing when passing plays break down. The defensive player floats near the line of scrimmage, following the quarterback's movements. Spies are also sometimes known as "keys". Generally, spies are linebackers.
