These Are the NFL's All-Time Greatest Linebackers

Brandon Spikes

Spikes has the power to back his name. He is one of the most talented tacklers in the league and his ability to lock the ball down is practically unparalleled. His final season was in 2016 with the Buffalo Bills, and since then he has been quiet to the media. He isn’t the most heavily praised linebacker of all time, but he is definitely one of the best modern line players. 

Kiko Alonso

Also hailing from the Bills, when Alonso walked onto the NFL, he started changing some things around pretty quickly. Although he wasn’t on top of every single play, his speed and risky maneuvers helped him develop an unpredictable playstyle that terrified other team’s offensive lines. When Alonso could get in on an angle, it was over for the opposing team’s quarterback.
