What the number means
50 is average among ranked linebackers, and the spread comes from how far apart this group's own production actually is - so the rating is a position within the position, not a score out of anything.
It is built from opponent-adjusted per-game production - the same statistics, weighted the same way, for everyone on the board. The Linebackers page lists exactly which ones.
