LT is a hof linebacker. Derrick Brooks is a hof linebacker.

London Fletcher?

Well, now bringing Derrick Brooks into the conversation, and anointing him as a Hall of Famer, can make for some interesting discussion.

Brooks played 14 seasons, had 1301 tackles, 25 interceptions, 24 forced fumbles, and 13.5 sacks. He played in and won one Super Bowl. He made 11 Pro Bowls.
Fletcher has played 14 seasons(and counting), has 1242 tackles, 18 interceptions, 17 forced fumbles, and 34 sacks. He played in two Super Bowls, and won 1. He's made 3 Pro Bowls.

What among those stats sets Brooks so far apart from Fletcher?
I'll also submit that, as an undrafted player, Fletcher's rookie season was almost exclusively spent on special teams, while first rounder Brooks was a starter from Day 1--so his real 14th year is this upcoming one. He'll likely surpass Brooks in tackles by quite a bit.
