Hm, interesting. Per PFF, he's below-average at his position.

Nope.

He's announced next year is his last year and he's under contract.

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.

Sure, but he didn't weigh 200 lbs when he was a junior. He weighed 220. he weighed 227 his senior year. He's only listed at 222 currently. His weight kept him off the field his freshman year. It shouldn't have kept him off the field the next two. shite Mingo weighed 220 or less at was playing on the defensive line

Debo was far too good of an athlete to be playing mostly special teams the majority of his career

Deion Jones might be the best LBer in NFL history if you only saw his tapes against New Orleans.

In 4 games, he has 38 tackles, 8 passes defended, 3 INTs for 131 return yards, and a TD.

Luke Kuechly over his career averages 6.1 tackles per game, 3.7 assists per game for a total of 9.8 total tackles per game, a pass defended per 1.7 games, a pass intercepted every 5.7 games, and a sack every 8.2 games.

Bobby Wagner over his career averages 5.8 tackles per game, 3.8 assists per game for a total of 9.6 total tackles per game, a pass defended per 2.8 games, a pass intercepted every 11 games, and a sack every 5.7 games.

Deion Jones over his career averages 5.4 tackles per game, 2.5 assists per game for a total of 7.9 total tackles per game, a pass defended per 1.5 games, a pass intercepted every 5.2 games, and a sack every 31 games.

Best pass defender? At least after 2 years, Jones.

Best pass rusher? Wagner.

Best all-around linebacker? Kuechly.

I would guess not because he got absolutely abused by the eagles line. play after play. I was at the airport watching the first half. it stuck out. he was getting to the edge on screens and runs and getting blown the frick up. I don't usually notice stuff like that, but it was very noticeable in that game.

Debo made a great INT the first game then was literally gifted an INT in the second. Ball bounced right out of Ginns hands into his. Luke K is still the top dog, followed by Wagner.

i feel like kuechly is 30 years old and gets concussed every game but in reality, he's only turning 27 entering 7th year in league and gets concussed once every 3 games.
