These Are the NFL's All-Time Greatest Linebackers

Jerrell Freeman

Freeman had a hard time finding his way to the NFL, but when he finally did join an NFL team in 2012, he made his impact known. Although he had a rough start, Freeman was always the unsung hero on his teams, and that boosted him up to “hero” status after long years on the gridiron. Freeman stopped playing football in 2017 when his contract ended with the Chicago Bears, but he is still involved in coaching his hometown high school team in Waco, Texas. 

 Lawrence Taylor

Taylor played for the New York Giants from 1981-1993. He’s a 10-time All-Pro recipient and a 10-time Pro Bowler, he has two Super Bowl wins under his belt, was rookie of the year in 81’, and won the NFL MVP title in 1986. L.T. was huge, scary even while facing another line, he had finesse and his technique and quick movement backed his size. He has been named the greatest linebacker of all time, as well as one of the greatest football players of all time.
