Top Ten Best NFL Linebackers of 2017

You need that general leader on your defense, someone to prepare for the play to counter.
The Top Ten
1 Von Miller Vonnie B'Vsean Miller Jr. is an American football outside linebacker for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League.

There is a reason you signed that large contract stay consistent you're the heart and soul in Denver now.

2 Dont'a Hightower

Thank goodness the pats didn't lose Hightower otherwise they would of needed to focus on getting more linebackers.

3 Vic Beasley Victor "Vic" Beasley Jr. is an American football outside linebacker for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League.

Quite the breakout year for a dude in year 3, and still younger to cause damage for offenses he will come across.

4 Luke Kuechly Luke August Kuechly is a former American football middle linebacker. He played his entire career for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League.

Cue the theme every time he gets a sack Carolina knows who Luke is when he is on the field.

5 Whitney Mercilus Whitney Mercilus is a former American football outside linebacker who played 10 seasons in the National Football League. He played college football for the University of Illinois and was recognized as a unanimous All-American.

With J.J Watt down all eyes were on the second best defensive player on that team, and Mercuilus did play a great deal for a defense that needed to step up greatly. Not only that it's a good sign that Clowney is starting to play like a #1 overall pick.

6 Brian Orakpo Brian Ndubisi Orakpo is an American football outside linebacker for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League.

Signing Orakpo gave the Titans some very needed life last year, can't imagine how they'll be this year.

7 Zach Brown

Zach Brown should be a very good helping hand, yet again it is Washington with free agency so who knows.

8 Lorenzo Alexander

For the Bills I would get quite worried if I let got Zach Brown let go Alexander shame on me twice. The on good thing the Bills had going was there linebackers were their strong suit.

9 Clay Matthews III William Clay Matthews III is an American football outside linebacker for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League.

Maybe not the player he once was, but still a good player to mentor there other linebackers on the side of him.

10 Haason Reddick

Out of the new faces Reddick for not only the most popular pick in the draft, but could be a stud for Arizona.

The Contenders
11 Le'Veon Bell Le'Veon Andrew Bell is an American football running back for the New York Jets of the National Football League.
12 Bobby Wagner Bobby Joseph Wagner is an American football inside linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League.
