Bobby Wagner remains an elite, high-IQ tackling machine at linebacker
Wagner is a classic “fit anywhere” middle-of-the-defense linebacker: steady, assignment-sound, and still producing at a Pro Bowl level late in his career, with 79 solo tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 2 interceptions in the 2025 regular season. His biggest differentiators are football IQ, durability, and downhill leadership rather than flashy athleticism; he has long been known for elite tackling volume, rare consistency, and a presence that stabilizes a defense. If you want a reliable veteran who raises the floor immediately, he is a strong fit.
