These Are the NFL's All-Time Greatest Linebackers

Cornelius Bennett

Bennett was insanely explosive on the field. So much so, that he suffered several injuries while playing, which he pushed through and only told personnel about after the plays were made. In fact, Bennett had 1,190 tackles, 71.5 sacks, seven interceptions, and 31 forced fumbles over the course of only 206 games, if his methods were sustainable, he might have been, statistically, the greatest linebacker of all time. However, longevity is a leading trait for the greatest football players, which Bennett did not exhibit.
