Who is it in your opinion? Mine is Lawrence Taylor, based on how his skills changed the perception of a linebacker in the modern era. For raw guts and blood, I would have Butkis. Who do you want and why?
Proud of my 16x20 autographed and framed collection - all signed in person. Not big on modern - I'm stuck in the past!

I'll take Butkus.

I agree with Vikes statement ... but, Ray Lewis could eventually become the greatest - he is up there now in the top 5

Originally, Taylor was a traditional linebacker but according to Parcells when he was supposed to be in coverage he might blitz the quarterback anyway, come up with a sack and the Giants would have to change the defensive playbook to put in the play that Taylor just created.
2. LT - revolutionized the OLB position
3. Butkus - the best MLB - PERIOD
4. Ray Lewis - the fastest and most feared defensive player of his generation
My vote goes to LT. On the field, he was tremendous. Off the field was another story.
