Our highest-ranked defensive player has everything a Hall of Fame player needs.
Bobby Wagner, who begins his second year with the Commanders in 2025, boasts numerous accolades, including a Super Bowl ring (with Seattle), an All-Decade Selection, ten Pro Bowls, and six First Team All-Pro honors.
At 35, Wagner is defying age and also owns impressive defensive statistics, most notably 1,838 Combined Tackles, making him the game’s active leader and fourth-place overall, trailing only Ray Lewis (2,059), London Fletcher (2,039), and Junior Seau (1,847). Wagner, who is also a natural leader on whatever team he is on, always seems to know where the ball is going to be, and is already near the top of the list of football’s best run-stoppers. However, despite that reputation, he is effective on the pass rush, owning 35 Sacks and 99 Tackles for Loss.
Even if Wagner never plays another snap, his Hall of Fame case is already built, but how much sweeter would it look with a second ring? The Washington Commanders are contenders to do just that.
