NFL Execs Rank Browns LB Owusu-Koramoah Among Top Off-Ball Linebackers

As the 2025 NFL training camps approach, linebacker rankings reveal varied insights across the league. Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah of the Cleveland Browns received an honorable mention for top off-ball linebackers despite missing the entire 2025 season due to a neck injury, reflecting high regard for his talent among NFL executives, coaches, and scouts. Zack Baun of the Philadelphia Eagles emerged as the best linebacker in the NFL according to PFSN's top 100 players list for 2025, following a breakout season where he led the league with 151 tackles and earned First-Team All-Pro honors. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers have struggled historically with inside linebackers but have had consistent contributors like Denzel Perryman, Donnie Edwards, and Stephen Cooper over the past quarter-century. Additionally, executive rankings note Fred Warner as a standout linebacker, highlighting the overall perception that linebacker is the NFL's weakest position currently. These perspectives collectively underscore both the challenges and standout performances shaping the linebacker position as the new season begins.
