These Are the NFL's All-Time Greatest Linebackers

Ray Nitschke

Nitschke was there for the essential conception of modern football. As the Super Bowl I, and II champions, Nitschke worked closely with Vince Lombardi and the rest of the Packers to help build the essential formula for traditional defense. Additionally, Ray won the 1962 Championship Game MVP award, was a 7-time All-Pro recipient, and was an NFL champion 5 times (thanks, Lombardi). Nitschke was inducted into the hall of fame in 1978.
