Posluszny has 816 combined tackles, 11 ints, 13 sacks, 4 FF, 1 TD. Pro Bowler. He also has more solo tackles and more assisted tackles than any player in team history.
*100 games played in a Jaguars uniform

Daryl Smith is 2nd in tackles with 681 combined, but also had 21.5 sacks which is 13th in franchise history. D.Smith also had 9 FF which is tops for a Jaguars LB, 6 int, 9 FF, 1 TD
*126 games played in a Jaguars uniform

Kevin Hardy was an all-pro in ‘99 and had a 10.5 sack season. 28.5 sacks which is 7th all time in team history, 504 combined tackles, 5 int, 8 FF. Placed 3rd in defensive rookie player of the year in 1996. Placed 6th in defensive player of the year in 1999 with an approximate value of 17 which is the highest of any LB in Jaguars history.
*86 games played in a Jaguars uniform

Telvin Smith has the most defensive returned TD in team history with 4. He’s 3rd in combined tackles. 9 ints, 5 FF, 7.5 sacks 4 TD
*76 games played in a Jaguars uniform

Mike Peterson is 4th in combined tackles in team history. Also had 8 ints, 15 sacks, 1 TD, 5 FF
*78 games played in a Jaguars uniform

Oluokun has 276 combined tackles, 2 sacks, 1 int, 3 FF, 1 TD
*25 games played in a Jaguars uniform.

Oluokun is still behind Akin Ayodele and Russell Allen in combined tackles. If we can hold on to Oluokun for another 2 seasons, he will be at the top of every defensive category but he’s still got a ways to go before he surpasses the best LBers in franchise history.

-SM

If "best LB in franchise history" is determined by longevity, then sure.  But if it's determined by who plays the best, then he has a strong case.

Sort of like if someone said, "Trevor Lawrence is the best QB we've ever had."  And someone else responds, "But Blake Bortles has more touchdown passes."
