BEST RATED PASS RUSHING LINEBACKERS 2028 NFL Draft

2028 BEST RATED PASS RUSHING LINEBACKERS

Linebackers rush the passer on blitzes and as stand-up rushers in sub packages, and the pass rush grade scores those snaps for pressures, hits, hurries and sacks. Sample sizes vary a lot by scheme, so read it with the snap count in mind. Von Miller (Texas A&M) and Jarvis Jones (Georgia) were linebackers on the depth chart and edge rushers on tape.

Below, draft-eligible linebackers are ranked by pass rush grade, with tackling, run defense, coverage and overall rating alongside.
