Before I read the article I would have said Butkus, 2 from LB U Penn St and 2 from Ohio St. Surprised PSU only had 1.

That is because their made up "Linebacker U" nickname isn't true.

So are they counting trev Alberts as a DE? Kind of hard to argue, good players on that list. Our best backers were often not typical type of players, like Farley, Williams, etc

IOM Terrel Farley was the best college LB in history. Too bad is career was so short.

Farley was a monster on D. How Lavonte David isn't even honorable mention is beyond me. He was almost SUH like from his position - could dominate/change a game.
