Five Of The Best Tacklers In The Game

HIT 'EM, WRAP 'EM AND TAKE 'EM TO THE GROUND, HARD—THESE GUYS DO IT RIGHT

RAY LEWIS

LB, RAVENS

Baltimore's mainstay in the middle is finally slowing down after 15 seasons in the league but remains among the best ever at getting torso on torso, even in open space.

PATRICK WILLIS

LB, 49ERS

One of the new generation but works old school: No arm tackles allowed. Pursues and collides.

CHARLES WOODSON

CB, PACKERS

Best combination tackler--ball stripper in league history—just ask Tom (Tuck Rule) Brady.
