Nose Tackle. It's a position on the defensive line and is also called a nose guard or a middle guard. It's typically seen in the 3-4 defense, when the NT is the sole tackle on the lien of scrimmage, with defensive ends on either side. It can also refer to one of the two tackles used in the 4-3 defense. And in the older 5-2 defense, the line has two ends, two tackles and the NT would the be the middle tackle.

The NT focuses on the center and one of the guards on the opposing team's offensive line.
