Defensive Line

  • Michael Bennett
  • Lawrence Guy
  • Deatrich Wise Jr.
  • Keionta Davis
  • Danny Shelton
  • Adam Butler
  • Derek Rivers
  • Chase Winovich
  • Byron Cowart

Bennett will step in a fill the hole created by the departure of Trey Flowers. Guy, Shelton, and Wise Jr. will fill the other starting roles as solid players. Butler and Cowart will provide versatile depth who can play inside or outside in certain situations. Winovich has been impressive in his first preseason and has carved out a nice-sized role for himself. Davis and Rivers will provide more depth on the edge.

Player to watch: John Simon
