These Are the NFL's All-Time Greatest Linebackers

Pat Swilling

The Saints were lucky to have this 6’3, 245-pound giant on their line. Just like Rickey Jackson, Pat Swilling made his impact in New Orleans by making his backline completely untouchable. Swilling was invited to the Pro Bowl five times and was given the All-Pro title twice. Swilling was named the Defensive Player of the year in 1991, has been inducted into the Saints’ Hall of Fame, but has yet to get inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.
