2025 Cincinnati Bengals Position Review: Linebackers

It’s common to claim that linebacker is not an important position. Because unlike cornerback and defensive end, they don’t have a direct impact on the quarterback.

Well, I say ”poppycock.”

Linebackers have to do it all. They fill gaps in the run game, drop into zone coverage, man up with tight ends and running backs, and blitz the quarterback.

Linebacker is a vital position and the Cincinnati Bengals need to see more production from this group.
