I just was wondering but does anyone know what OL stands for in football? My new boyfriend plays football and I'm trying to understand the sport a little better (I'm what you would call athletically challenged)

It's the Offensive Line. The 5 guys right in front of the QB.
An Outside LineBacker is an OLB. To those who say it is either do you call a Middle LineBacker an ML?

Yes, Offensive Lineman. The dude that said Outside Linebacker is either ignorant or a tad on the homosexual side.
Outside Linebacker is OLB for you clueless folks.

It stands for offensive lineman. They are the five guys lined up directly in front of the quarterback. There are two tackles, two gurds, and a center.

Outside linebacker if one was referring to an individual playing defense . If he is playing on offense, than that abbreviation is generally referred to as offensive line.

Offensive Line - his jersey number will run between 50 and 79 depending on his position.

it DOES NOT stand for outside linebacker. That would be OLB. It means the offensive line or lineman.
