off the top of my head

Willis

Lewis

Urlacher

Fletcher

Harris

Mayo was great back then.

Beason fits in here as well i would say top 5.

Ryans was great as well, before the system change

Alright, I can understand Willis and Urlacher. Wouldn't agree with Fletcher but it is cool. But Mayo? He doesn't touch Beason in coverage and never has had a season where he made the amount of splash plays Beast did in '09. Mayo just records a bunch of tackles, that is it.

In particular, in Beason's 09 season, he recorded 3 sacks, 3 interceptions, 7 PDs, 1 FF, 10 stuffs. Mayo has never even came close to an overall game like that. As a matter of fact, '11 is the only season Mayo's ever recorded an interception. Even in '10, despite playing at OLB quite a bit with crap at DT (compared to Mayo, who has Wilfork), Beason had a sack and an interception, 8 PD, 2 FF, 9 stuffs. Sorry but Beason > Mayo and it really isn't close.

Lewis is an interesting one. Every time I begin doubting him, he shows why his instincts alone are enough to make him one of the best in the game. I'd go with Beason personally because Lewis' athleticism has really declined but it could go either way and I'd understand. The only LBs I'd say are better than Beast right now are Willis and Urlacher.
