Top 5 Off Ball Linebackers


Recommended Posts

I want you guys to rank one of the positions that regularly doesn't get much glory anymore: the Off Ball Linebacker!

For anyone who doesn't use that terminology:

"In football, a defensive player in this position who does not focus primarily on pressuring the passer is known as an "off-ball" linebacker. These players do not align themselves on the ball or at the line of scrimmage."

Warner

Milano

Davis

Moseley

Roquan

Good list, it's generally something like this.

 

Man this position is a dinosaur nowadays.. But if you have one of these guys, it's nice to have.

Thought he was more an edge tbf. If not, then definitely 

Not at all. He lined up as an edge 0 times for us. We do blitz him a lot, but he’s 100% an off ball LB through and through. Exploded onto the scene this year and (don’t @ me) was our best defensive player when you take a snapshot of the entire season. Garrett missed some time & fell off late. JOK got better and better.

Fair enough. I'd have him in top 5 then, for sure
