The inside linebacker position is an important one in Vic Fangio’s defense. In the past, teams he coached the defense for all were at their best when they had two talented linebackers in the middle of their defense. With the 49ers, he had Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman during their Super Bowl run. In 2018 with the Chicago Bears, his number one ranked defense had former Denver Broncos linebacker Danny Trevathan and rookie linebacker Roquan Smith in the middle of his defense. His 2018 showing ultimately helped him get the Denver Broncos Head Coaching job.
