Manti Te'o believes Bobby Wagner is still the best linebacker in the NFL

"Drafted one year before me, Wagner is a player I watched and whose game I tried to emulate. He is one of the most cerebral players at the linebacker position, which is why the 10-time Pro Bowler has been able to play at such a high level throughout his career," Teo wrote.

"He's great at dissecting plays and alerting the defense pre-snap, and his post-snap reactions are precise, as he rarely takes a false step. Naturally, the 35-year-old has slowed some, recording three of his lowest Pro Football Focus coverage grades in the last four seasons, but his ability to move efficiently has allowed him to stay near the top of the league in tackling, blitzing and run-stuffing."

Wagner, 35, may be with the Commanders now, but he will always be remembered for his days with the Seahawks.

He was a second-round pick by the Commanders in 2012 and played 10 seasons with the Seahawks from 2012-21. After one year with his hometown Los Angeles Rams in 2022, Wagner returned to the pacific northwest to play for the Seahawks in 2023.

Now, he's in his second season with the Commanders playing for former Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
