You wouldn’t receive many counter-arguments to the statement, “The San Francisco 49ers had the best linebacking duo in 2023.” The Baltimore Ravens are the only team in the conversation, but their best linebacker does much of the heavy lifting.

But quantifying Dre’s presence on the field and what he means to the defense is impossible.
