Favorite linebacker ever

[Mesmer]

Most of these guys were jerks although great players. Who is my favorite who was also a great guy, role model and great community leader- Sam Mills.

Gonna have to agree with Lewis. If we're talking about pure on-field performance and nothing else. His intensity is amazing, but yeah... not a fan of his personality. Sam Mills definitely wins my total package award as well.

Stan Morgan

Zach Thomas. under-sized, played with heart, gave everything for the team......named my son after him.

For everybody who's like "No way your list shouldn't include XYZ", the OP says your "Favorite" linebacker. Not best, not top five, etc.

With that said, I always enjoyed watching Junior Seau in his Charger days.

Will Burbank the 3rd.

Dan Morgan... if he had stayed healthy he would have been a 1st ballot HOF'er

...and I always liked Morgan because he wasn't the biggest, fastest, strongest or smartest LB in the history of the game - he played with pure heart and desire and give 150% on each play.

Dick Butkus

Ray Nitschke

Bill Romanowski (yeah, he was dirty... and did roids too, but he was a mean bastard, and I like that in a LB)

Junior Seau

[Sandy Claws]

Romo was mean because of Roid rage. Remove the roids and he MIGHT not have had one of the traits that you desire.

No LB discussion can be complete without Singletary
