5 NFL defensive players bound for the Hall of Fame

#3 - Von Miller

Super Bowl LVI - Los Angeles Rams v Cincinnati Bengals

New Buffalo Bills linebacker Von Miller is also bound for the Hall of Fame. He shows no signs of slowing down whatsoever. This offseason he signed a six-year $120 million deal with Buffalo.

The long-time Denver Broncos star was a lynchpin in their defense that won Super Bowl 50. Miller took home the Super Bowl MVP after he strip-sacked Cam Newton. Miller has been named an All-Pro seven times, made eight Pro Bowls and was named to the NFL 2010s All-Decade team.

Miller was instrumental for the Los Angeles Rams in their Super Bowl LVI victory in early 2022. In that fixture as he added to his sack total which now stands at 115.5.

#4 - Bobby Wagner

Detroit Lions v Seattle Seahawks

Speaking of the Los Angeles Rams, new Rams linebacker Bobby Wagner will also be in Canton one day. The former Seattle Seahawks standout has been one of the best linebackers in the league for a decade. He’s made eight Pro Bowls, as well as being named All-Pro eight times.

Wagner was also a part of the ‘Legion Of Boom’ while in Seattle when their terrifying defense won Super Bowl XLVIII. They blew Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos out of the water in a 43-8 rout.

Wagner has led the league in tackles twice during his career, and will be bringing his talent to Los Angeles in 2022. He signed a five-year $65 million contract in March this year.

#5 - Aaron Donald

NFC Divisional Playoffs - Los Angeles Rams v Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Rams tackle Aaron Donald is easily the best defensive player in the league. He will 100% be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when he decides to call it quits.

His resume stacks up against almost all Hall of Fame inductees, as he’s been voted to eight Pro Bowls. That's every single year of his career. He has also won NFL Defensive Player of the Year three times and been named first-team All-Pro seven times.

He was a member of the NFL’s 2010s All-Decade team, and to this point has 98.0 career sacks and 441 total tackles. He also effectively sealed the Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl LVI win. He harried Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, resulting in an incomplete pass on fourth down.
