Most linebackers on NFL rosters by school (MN among our peers)

Go Gophers!!

That is good company to be in, I would hope the coaches are using that as a statistic when recruiting linebackers.

"We have the same number of linebackers currently in the NFL as Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State and Notre Dame"

That is a nice stat!

I don't watch much NFL. Are Damien Wilson or Thomas Rush still on a team?

Odds tell us teams with a 3-4 defense should have more LBs in the NFL & recruit higher rated ones.

We are LB U!

 

[TurfGopher]

Hopefully Cody Lindenberg has a excellent season and adds to that number.

That is a nice stat to have. Seems like a few LB's, DB's, and lineman are in the NFL from MN. Hopefully a trend that will continue.

Thomas Rush was on Practice squad for the Titans all season and Wilson was on the Practice Squad for the Cowboys (the team that drafted him in 2015) this season.

Told my badger friend about this and he sent me 7 LBs on current NFL rosters, not counting their rookies. This did seem odd as it's their position of strength.

Are they all considered LB in the NFL?

Great question. I didn't look into it but I bet "edge" is different than OLB in NFL even if they're listed as LB
