Gonna play Middle Linebacker, two questions

I made a conclusion to play Middle Linebacker next year, and I have two questions:

1.)Exactly what does a middle linebacker do?
2.)My friend told me they are also known as ''Quarterback of the Defensive team''

If you can answer, thanks

Your job is to cover TEs or WRs sometimes, on passing plays. If you're a captain, you may call the plays, but just because you're a MLB doesn't mean you're going to be the play-caller. If you're blitzing, follow and look for the gaps in the offensive line, and time your rush to the QB. Same for stopping the run. Good luck

@YourPirateGuy thank you, for getting straight to the answers.
@LibTech Thank you too, and haha so funny, I totally think a quarterback catches the ball. I know some sports dude, don't think i'm as dumb as a down syndrome baby when it comes to sports.

1. Stops runs and calls defensive plays/sets. Occasionally guards TEs or WRs during shotgun plays.
2. Calls defensive plays.

I want to learn more so I can get ready for it. I understand that it is strange but I want to try to do something other than gaming 24/7

OT: I don't know much about football, but why conclude to play a position that you don't know about?
