I wouldn't put Lewis in the class of LT or Singletary. Ive never seen Ray Nitchke, Butkus or Lambert play but they were dominant in an era when the game was much more violent. Lewis is probably the premier Middle Linebacker of his time but I think Patrick Willis will surpass him if he gets a better team around him.

Ed Reed amazes me. I've never seen a Safety control the secondary like him. I think Lott was a better all around Safety because he was so dominant in the running game and intimidating WRs. I wish I could've seen Ken Houston play...
