Tied for 4th in NFL for total tackles. What separates him from other top tiered tackle LB's is he's coming off a season with 9 PD's and 3 Int's with top sideline to sideline speed. (11 pd's 3 int's in 2016 rookie year) Only entering his 3rd season in the NFL already with combined 246 tackles, is there any case for another LB you'd rather have of Deion Jones for the next 5 years?

No, that would be Bobby Wagner, but he has the potential to be. He just has that innate knack for making plays. Special player.

And yet he only started one year at LSU because John fricking Chavis started DJ Welter over him. Well done Chavis.

I'd take Bobby Wagner


With that being said, Debo's speed and flexibility is next level. It's a shame we only got one year out of him at LSU.

Von Miller has been the best LB for a few seasons now.

Yea, no. Dude showed up to LSU less than 200 pounds lol. Of course it took a while for him to be a starting LB in the SEC.

Deion outperformed Bobby this year.

Bobby will be 28 moving forward and will likely be on a somewhat downward trend point in his career although he's still elite in NFL.

Same can be said about Danielle Hunter being one of the best past rushers in the NFL but didn’t really excel under Chevis D.

He’s the prototype for the modern NFL linebacker, he’s the original and hopefully will get his due. Dude flys all over the field and lays the wood. Athletic freak
