I almost made this a 2 person poll, but I guess some may disagree with the two I think it is between. Namely - Ray Lewis and Lawrence Taylor.
Taylor was more of a pressure the QB style LB, while Lewis was more of a control the middle singlehandedly, and their stats reflect this. Taylor had 132.5 career sacks while Lewis has 33.5 but Lewis has 28 INT's compared to LT's 9. Tackles aren't tracked well, but most would agree Lewis had more. Then again, Lewis is a MLB, and Taylor was a OLB, so this isn't surprising. in a way, they play two different positions.
Others of note - Dick Butkis, Derrek Thomas, Jack Lambert, Mike Singletary.
