2026 NFL Draft Summer Scouting - LBs

Newt Westen

I have a confession to make...I hate scouting linebackers. I find it to be one of the most challenging groups to evaluate and always feel like I am missing major parts of the puzzle. Don't be confused, though–I love watching linebackers play and respect the hell out of the position. The ninth episode in the series is available to view below–please check it out! While you're there, a like and a subscription to the Weekly Huddle would mean a ton to Owen (Twitter: @WeeklyHuddle) and me!

As always, I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on the rankings. The best way to talk about it is by hitting me up on the app formerly known as Twitter, @NFLDraft_Westen. I hope to hear from you! If you enjoyed this ranking, be sure to check out the previous position rankings:
