Pro Football Focus Gives All Pro Fred The Crown For NFL's Best LB 

Brad Graham • December 30, 2020

All Pro Fred has officially put the league on notice.

Fred Warner entered the league as a third round pick out of BYU. Apparently, the 49ers have a knack for finding super star talent at the LB position in the third round after selecting Navarro Bowman in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

Fred Warner has quietly ascended into not only the NFL's best LB, but the new prototype for the position. A guy who is elite in all aspects, coverage, stopping the run, mental processing, leadership, lateral speed, etc.

As you can see below, we saw it coming from a mile away.
