These Are the NFL's All-Time Greatest Linebackers

Daryl Washington

Washington retired from the Cardinals after a 6 year run with them. Unfortunately, his career was only 6 years long, so there wasn’t too much information to work off of, aside from the fact that he was a commanding player on the field. Washington’s ferocity and agility stuck out more than the rest of the Cardinals’ line, and by the end of his stay in Arizona, Washington was offered two $10 million bonuses, a Pro Bowl nomination, and a burned bridge when he argued for higher pay that did not coincide with the quality of his play.

Wesley Woodyard

This current Titan, former Bronco, has a crazy amount of sacks under his belt for someone who has only been playing since 2008. With 28 sacks into the 15th week of this season, a total of 942 tackles, and 30 pass deflections, Woodyard is worth the money the Titans pay him to stick around. In week 7 of this current season, Woodyard packed 6 tackles and a forced fumble to win 23-20 over the Chargers, a legendary game for him and a huge win for the Titans.
