Pro Football Focus recently compiled a list of 10 late-career NFL veterans who are still playing at a high level. Former Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner made the prestigious list. Wagner has extended his Hall of Fame-worthy career with the Seattle Seahawks.
"Despite playing more than 14,000 snaps in his 13-year career, Wagner is showing no signs of slowing down," Ryan Smith wrote. "Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels received a lot of the headlines amid the Commanders’ impressive turnaround last season, and deservedly so, but Wagner's impact on the defense in his first year with the team should not go unheralded."
"Wagner’s 88.3 PFF overall grade ranked third out of 84 qualifying linebackers, and he led the position in PFF pass-rush grade (90.9) and ranked second in PFF run-defense grade (91.2)," Smith continued. "It was his third straight year of earning a PFF run-defense grade higher than 91.0."
Wagner recorded 132 tackles for the Commanders this past season en route to helping them to a surprise NFC Championship Game appearance. Wagner returned to the Seahawks in 2023 after departing the team after an illustrious 10-season (2012-21) run with the franchise. In 2023, he totaled a career-high 183 tackles.
Wagner is a 10-time Pro Bowler, six-time First-Team All-Pro selection, Super Bowl (XLVIII) winner, and future Seahawks Ring of Honor member. It's great to see him still playing at such a high level.
