Name Position Defense % Special Teams %
Darius Leonard LB 828 80.1% 58 13.7%
Anthony Walker LB 811 78.4% 140 32.9%
Bobby Okereke LB 472 45.7% 168 39.5%
Matthew Adams LB 104 10.1% 306 72%
E.J. Speed LB 33 3.2% 152 35.8%
Zaire Franklin LB 346 81.4%
Skai Moore LB 7 1.7%

There weren’t any surprises with this group. Leonard and Walker led the way while the former played the second-most snaps among all defensive players in 2019 despite missing three games with a concussion.

Okereke was the one that emerged to be the third linebacker. He had a strong second half of the season that could put him in the running for a starting role in 2020.

Adams and Franklin continue to lead the special teams unit for the second year in a row.
