The Green Bay Packers’ offense faces perhaps their toughest test in the San Francisco 49ers’ defense, and at the heart of that unit are linebackers Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw.
Warner is considered by many to be the best inside linebacker in football. You name it, and he does it for this 49ers’ defense. Warner is PFF’s highest-graded linebacker this season, totaling 15 pressures, 128 total tackles, and limiting pass-catchers to under 10 yards per reception.
Warner’s counterpart, Greenlaw, is an impact player himself, recording 120 tackles, holding pass-catchers to just 8.
