NFC North:
This particular grouping was very difficult.
1. Clay Matthews (Green Bay): Until Anthony Barr stays healthy, this is not a discussion.
2. Anthony Barr (Minnesota): Man oh man, can this guy play. He can line up at any linebacker spot, can blitz from anywhere with success, can cover, and has the kind of sideline to sideline speed needed in today's NFL. This is the next star linebacker in the NFC North division.
3. DeAndre Levy (Detroit): Dude is a really good all around player who people have finally noticed over the past couple of years.
4. Julius Peppers (Green Bay): As McCarthy said, this guy is practically ageless. He is NOT the same player by any means but he has adjusted his play as the years have gone on and is still impressive.
5. Tahir Whitehead (Detroit): Very underrated player.
6. Lamarr Houston (Chicago): He's not Justin Houston, but he definitely isn't a slouch, either. Not my favorite LB in the division but I respect him.
7. Pernell McPhee (Chicago): Another solid player. The NFCN has an excellent group of OLBs. Hopefully he can get off the PUP list ASAP.
8. Chad Greenway (Minnesota): He may not be prime Chad Greenway but he's still a more than solid NFL OLB. I'm kind of hoping he gets beat out for the starting role, but if not, he'll obviously earn it in his last year.
