PUBG Mobile: Here are the 10 best guns to use Best Weapons PUBG MOBILE

Top 10 linebackers in the NFL.......

As the NFL has evolved into a pass-happy league with an increased reliance on three-receiver sets, spread formations, and pass-catching running backs and tight ends, the value of every down linebackers who can stick with pass-catchers downfield while also plugging the ground game and rushing the quarterback as a blitzer has also increased. There are only so many Bobby Wagners and Luke Kuechlys in the NFL. 

With that in mind, as we continue ranking players at each and every position group in the NFL here at CBS Sports, it's time to rank the league's 10 best linebackers. First, it's important to note that by "linebacker," we don't mean for that term to also include EDGE rushers. A linebacker like Khalil Mack, whose primary role with the Bears is to rush the quarterback, was not included. Neither was Von Miller or Chandler Jones, who like Mack, are pass rushers above all else. By "linebacker," we mean off-ball linebackers or in simpler terms, the more traditional version of the linebacker position. We'll be ranking EDGE rushers later this week, so don't you worry: There will be a time and place to rank the Macks, Millers, and Jones of the NFL. This isn't that time.

Instead, we're looking at a pool of players that includes the aforementioned Wagner. Unfortunately, Luke Kuechly is no longer eligible after his stunning retirement earlier this offseason. A year ago, Wagner and Kuechly tied for first place on our list of the top-10 linebackers heading into the 2019 season. With Kuechly retired, Wagner took first place this year by a wide margin. He's the best linebacker in football. 

Finally, because there are clearly more than 10 great linebackers in the NFL, it's important to note the players who barely missed the cut. Those players include: Danny Trevathan, Deion Jones, Benardrick McKinney, Jaylon Smith, Alexander Johnson, Devin White, Joe Schobert, Blake Martinez, Zach Cunningham, and Cory Littleton. If you feel strongly that one of those players deserved to be on this list, I don't blame you. I wanted to include them too. I think all 10 of those players have a convincing argument. But in the end, there could only be 10, which means a few notable snubs were inevitable.The only other rule to note is that we're trying to look ahead to the 2020 season with these rankings. That means, these rankings aren't based entirely on past success. It's also not based on the next five or 10 years. We're only looking at the 2020 season. The 10 players you find below are the 10 linebackers we think will be the best at their position group during the 2020 season alone.

Without further delay, the list itself ...

10. Bills' Tremaine Edmunds

Ranking Edmunds in the top 10 requires a bit of projection because to this point in his career, he hasn't played like a top 10 player at his position group. But that's OK, because Edmunds, the 16th-overall pick in the 2018 draft, is still only 22 years old and he's already flashed plenty of promise in his first two seasons. He's played in 31 of 32 possible games, racking up 236 combined tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 11 quarterback hits, 3.5 sacks, 21 passes defended, and three interceptions. In that span, among all linebackers, he ranks 12th in combined tackles -- not bad for his age-20 and -21 seasons. 

Edmunds has the benefit of playing on a loaded Bills defense that should continue their ascent under Sean McDermott. In his third season, Edmunds has a real shot to take off. He has all the physical traits necessary to become a top-10 linebacker. Now, he just needs to put it all together. Obviously, since I have him ranked here, I think that'll happen.
