And on a lighter note.

Interesting that 5 played for the Steelers:

Good list.

 

Am I going to have hit next 25 times to see them all? Ain't nobody got time for that.

I've compiled 5 in my head and will just assume those are the ones in there.

 

Jack ham
Kevin Greene
Harrison
Lambert
Loyd

not in that order and Lawrence Taylor #1

 

1. Lambert
2. Ham
3. Lloyd
4. Harrison
5. Russell

6. Taylor

 

Thanks a bunch.

 

Quite a bit of amazing LBs on that list for certain. My favorite part about the list is how quite a bit of those great Linebackers were part of the 70s and 80s when American Gridiron Football was beginning to take off. I dont think we will ever see a level of position dominance like that again in terms of the defense.



Granted, the Safety position had a shot after its historic run in the 2000s. However, Rob Gronkowski changed everything. Hybrid players are the new normal nowadays.

 

No Bud DuPree?

 

Good read. Terrell Suggs gets overlooked a lot in my opinion. He should be higher.

 

Andy Russell does belong in the HOF. We often talk about Donnie Shell and LC belonging but Russell is even more deserving IMO. This being said, he wasn't among the 25 best LBs in history.

 

Why is C. Bennett on this list? Where is Nitscke?
