26. In 2013, Dee Ford turned a 10.5-sack senior campaign into a first-round selection in 2014. He was stuck behind Tamba Hali with the Kansas City Chiefs for a while but now, he’s shining. Many around Auburn believed Lawson, a freshman All-American that season, was their top edge rusher. <p>Ford is doing his thing in the NFL now with 10 sacks so far this season so eyes are on Lawson. Those eyes are also on him because his last two seasons have been marred by injuries. And Lawson is back, showing he can still do this and said he is better than his pre-injury form.</p> <p>He still has the explosive get-off, the burst and the natural flexibility to bend around the edge. He’s also thickly built with the power and strength to play the three-technique at times. He’s a hard-nosed, physical player that fits in perfectly with a team like the Baltimore Ravens.</p> <p>The Sun is setting on the great career of Elvis Dumervil and Terrell Suggs has little a time left. So Lawson will have time to learn a few things from Suggs before the Sun sets on him. And the great Ravens defense will continue on, without Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Suggs</p>. OLB. Auburn. Carl Lawson. 26. player
