These Are the NFL's All-Time Greatest Linebackers

Stephen Tulloch

After Tulloch chose to forgo his senior season of college football and went into the NFL draft, he was picked up by the Titans and the rest is history. After a few unremarkable years with them, he was traded to the Detroit Lions. Tulloch tore his ACL in the first quarter of a Week 3 game after sacking Tim Tebow, he was let go from the Lions at the end of that season and played one year for the Philadelphia Eagles. Tulloch was a dominant linebacker during his brief stay in the NFL, although his career was tumultuous, it was overtly remarkable. 

Sean Lee

Lee has been on the Cowboys since the beginning of his career. This Penn State grad betrayed his home team (the Eagles) and went to their arch-nemesis, but it’s all cool. So far, Lee has been given two Pro Bowl invites, was awarded first-team All-Pro in 2016 and has carried the ball farther than any other Dallas linebacker in history. Lee was even voted team captain two years in a row.
