These Are the NFL's All-Time Greatest Linebackers

Mike Singletary

Singletary was the scariest member of the Chicago Bears’ 1980s lineup, also known as “The Monsters of the Midway.” This 10-time Pro Bowler, 8-time All-Pro winner, and 2-time Defensive Player of the Year left his mark on the NFL when he made sure the Bears beat out the Patriots in Super Bowl XX. Singletary retired from football in 1992 and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998. 

Jack Lambert

Lambert played for the Steelers in their 1970s-80s golden years. Lambert was probably the most recognizable football player of the decade, his toothless grin struck fear in the hearts of the opposing team’s offensive line. He was the chief of the “Steel Curtain,” a nickname for the Steelers defensive line when they were completely unstoppable. With 4 Super Bowl wins and many other accomplishments under his belt, Lambert saw his entry into the Hall of Fame in 1990.
