I don't think you can play in the NFL, let alone linebacker in the NFL, and not have an ego. Knowing you're good, and believing you're better than the guy you're going against, would have to be a huge asset for any player. These guys don't get to this level by trying for or believing they are second best. They were the best player in gym class, pee wee, high school, and unless they went to a powerhouse program they were probably the best player on their college team as well (even then, they were one of the best in order to get drafted). I firmly believe it not only takes the physical build, but also a certain mental makeup to be a professional athlete.
