Bobby Wagner has been one of the few bright spots for the Los Angeles Rams and he’s legitimately been one of the best linebackers in the NFL this season. Before Week 15 gets underway on Thursday night, Wagner is PFF’s highest-graded linebacker this season.

The All-Pro linebacker logged a season-high 14 combined tackles in Week 14 versus the Las Vegas Raiders as he’s played on all but one defensive snap for the Rams this season. Following his productive outing last Thursday against the Raiders, Wagner now has 111 combined tackles, seven tackles for loss, five sacks, and four pass breakups thus far.
The 90.7 overall grade on PFF is Wagner’s third-highest grade of his career. The experienced inside linebacker was awarded a 91.7 overall grade in 2018 and a 91.4 overall grade in 2017 when he was with the Seattle Seahawks.
Wagner also became part of history in the win over the Raiders in Week 14 as he became the 10th all-time leader in tackles. The eight-time Pro Bowler has registered 100-plus tackles in each of his 11 seasons in the NFL.
Despite Wagner being 32 years old and the Rams not being in playoff contention, he continues to show that he’s still one of the premier linebackers in the league.
