It seemed pretty unanimous that San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner is the best linebacker in the league. Year in and year out, Warner has dominated in every facet of the position like no other linebacker in the league. That’s typically reflected in any linebacker rankings. However, a list where Warner wasn’t at the top recently came out, and it surprisingly came from a credible voice.
Former linebacker Manti Te'o, now an NFL analyst, ranked his top 10 linebackers entering the 2025 season. Warner was second on the list, trailing veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner.
