Both Washington Commanders linebackers Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu rank in the top 20 according to CBS Sports.
The Washington Commanders have rebuilt from top to bottom and one of the areas of the franchise that desperately needed an overhaul and facelift was the defense - one that ranked near the bottom of the league in 2023 in almost every statistical category. The offense in 2023, which has also been flipped as we hurdle ahead to 2024, was a mixed bag, but with the defense not holding their own, it became difficult for the Commanders to find any sort of consistency throughout the season.
Frankie Luvu, the former UDFA by the Jets, has come into his own over the past couple of seasons with the Carolina Panthers totaling over 100 tackles and five sacks in each, making him a clear improvement for the Commanders and checking in as CBS Sports' 17th best linebacker in the game. "The former Jet had a career year with the Carolina Panthers in 2023, recording 125 combined tackles, 5.5 sacks, 10 tackles for loss, 11 QB hits, five passes defensed and two forced fumbles," CBS Sports' Jordan Dajani wrote in his rankings column. "Luvu turned that performance into a three-year contract worth up to $36 million with Washington, and will get to play alongside Bobby Wagner under Dan Quinn.
