A lot of people would say Dick Butkus. Some may argue that Ray Lewis is the best inside linebacker of all time. There have been a lot of great inside linebackers who are Hall of Famers, so it is somewhat a matter of opinion.
Jason Gildon was a former Pro Bowl linebacker for the Steelers from 1994 to 2003. He is also the Steelers all-time leader in sacks with 77.
All-time greats from the defensive side of football include players like Lawrence Taylor, known for his game-changing ability as a linebacker, and Ronnie Lott, celebrated for his hard-hitting safety play. Other legends include Deion Sanders, a shutdown cornerback and dynamic return specialist, and Dick Butkus, recognized for his ferocity and leadership as a middle linebacker. These players not only excelled in their positions but also transformed defensive strategies and left lasting legacies in the sport.
Jim Brown. He's also the 2nd best back of all time.
Franz Beckenbauer.
all year round
Mike Singletary is considered to be the best all-time linebacker.
Dick Butkus
The man who is currently considered to be the best all-around linebacker is Brian Urlacher. The best pass rushing linebacker is basically a tie between DeMarcus Ware & Shawne Merriman. The best run stopping linebacker is Zach Thomas. There's also an blue chip linebacker named Rey Maualuga who's considered to soon be the best run stopping linebacker. Ray Lewis is still great, was great, and will be great. None of these guys have the same stats at Ray Lewis. Ray is actually one of my favorite players, but if you are going to go on the subject of comparing statistics, it's still Brian Urlacher. So I stick to my earlier post.
Clay Matthews is widely regarded as one of the top linebackers of his era, known for his athleticism, versatility, and playmaking ability. He earned multiple Pro Bowl selections and was instrumental in the Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl XLV victory. While he may not be universally considered the absolute best linebacker of all time, his impact and performance certainly place him among the elite in NFL history. Ultimately, opinions on the "best" linebacker can vary based on personal criteria and preferences.
