2. Connor Barwin

Even though Connor Barwin has only made on Pro Bowl, he comes in ahead of Hali on this list mostly due to age. Barwin is 31-years-old and has yet to hit that same cliff Halli has.

He secured five sacks last season with the Los Angels Rams and that gave him his second consecutive year with five sacks. His career-high of 14.5 sacks game with the Philadelphia Eagles back in 2014 and was the second time in his career where he posted double-digit sacks.

Barwin is perhaps the most complete player on this list. He’s far and away the best coverage linebacker out of all of them, having spent most of his career at that position. Even though he may not be the same type of pass-rusher as the other guys, he’s proven he can get the job done in both areas. That’s something not many other guys on this list can say.
