outside linebacker
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.
Tom Landry a lot of people believe Tom Landry invented the position of middle linebacker, but Bill George was playing middle linebacker in 1954 while Tom Laundry was still playing corner-back for the Giants.
Brian Urlacher no retard Jonathan vilma on the saints and ray Lewis on the ravens No Brian Urlacher and Brian Cushing are! Retard!
Yes, short people can play football as long as you like to hit and can play the position well. It depends on your definition of short, I have known short people to play linebacker and they have been one of the best football players I have ever played with throughout my football career so far. Plus when you're in peewee football the little kids are short and still play Linebacker. There has been people in the NFL who have been shorter then average linebackers and are some of the best linebackers in NFL history.

Clay Mathews of the Green Bay Packers is probably the best linebacker in football today. You could also argue for Demarcus Ware and Patrick Willis
Sam Huff is the first linebacker in the Hall of Fame. i learned this on Facebook. Love To All My Skin Fans M. D. Minor
Players who have worn number 50 for the Boston/New England Patriots include offensive lineman Bob Yates (1961-65), linebacker Jim Cheyunski (1968-72), linebacker Sam Hunt (1974-79), linebacker Larry McGrew (1980, 1982-89), Pro Bowl linebacker Mike Vrabel (2001-08) and linebacker Rob Ninkovich (2009-current as of July 2012).
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.
I have Played football and it seems like you would be best for middle strong linebacker.
