SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – NFL.com ranked former Utah State and current Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner among the top 15 players in the NFL for the 2020 season.

The former Aggie came in ranked No. 13 on the list of league’s of the top 100 players for the upcoming season.

“Tallying more tackles than anyone else in the NFL, Wagner’s mark of 159 concluded his fourth straight season of 130 or more tackles. A tackling machine running on high, Wagner was an All-Pro for a fifth time this past season and a Pro Bowler for a sixth consecutive campaign,” wrote NFL.com’s Grant Gordon. “While the Seahawks defense is hardly what it was seasons ago, Wagner remains one of the finest defenders in the game and a middle linebacker akin to those of autumns past, playing all downs, tackling anything that moves and going sideline to sideline. Consistently great each season, Wagner’s among the top 15 players for a second year in a row.”

The Seahawks linebacker came in one spot ahead of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and future hall of famer Tom Brady on the top 100 list.

Wagner will enter his ninth professional season (all with Seattle) in 2020.
