Patrick Willis
Willis is one of the newer additions to this list, and for good reason. Patrick Wilis held the line for the 49’ers from 2007-14, and even though his time was short, every game he was in changed because of his presence. This man couldn’t miss a tackle if he tried, it’s almost as if he knew exactly where the ball was going to be 10 seconds before it even got there. Willis is going to be on the list of inductees for the 2020 induction to NFL Hall of Fame, and he’s got a pretty good shot at making it into that list.
NaVarro Bowman
Bowman stepped down in 2017 following the continuation of a catastrophic leg injury he sustained at the end of his 2014 career. However, in 2014, he led the NFL as a statistically solid linebacker with good intuition and technique. In 2014 he was tied with Patrick Willis for the linebacker of the year award.
