If it was a corner or some other position trying to be a leader, I'd agree, but it's called a linebacking "core" for a reason.

Actually, it's Linebacker Corps, not to be confused with the word "corpse", but pronounced "core".  But in football, any position group is referred to as a Corps, ex.  WR Corps.  And, we did have a member of the secondary who was the leader of the defense, his name was Reggie Nelson.
