These Are the NFL's All-Time Greatest Linebackers

Chuck Bednarik

Iron Man Chuck held the line for the Eagles in 1949-62. He was an All-Pro 10-times, in the Pro Bowl 8-times, and was a 2-time NFL Champion with his fellow birds. Bednarik was one of the absolute best linebackers of all time, especially since he played football during a time that players were using goose down to stuff their pads at the beginning of the game. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 1967, and he even has an award named after himself for the most outstanding defensive player in the college circuit.
