These Are the NFL's All-Time Greatest Linebackers

Jack Ham

Jack Ham came out of Penn State a little wet behind the ears, but he started showing his stripes a couple of years into his contract with the Steelers. This 6time All-Pro captured 4 Vince Lombardi trophies by the end of his short 162 game career. Within that time, Ham captured 32 picks and was inducted into the hall of fame in 1988. 

Willy Lanier

They didn’t call Lanier “Contact” for nothing. Lanier hurt people, and he was laser accurate with his tackling. He caused 27 interceptions over the course of his career, he always managed to be in the perfect spot at all times. Over the course of his 10-year career, Lanier was given 8 All-Pro nominations, was a 6-time Pro Bowl player, was 2-time AFL All-Star, and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1986.
