Defensive Line

  • Cameron Jordan
  • Sheldon Rankins
  • David Onyemata
  • Malcom Brown
  • Marcus Davenport
  • Trey Hendrickson
  • Mario Edwards
  • Wes Horton
  • Sylvester Williams

Jordan is one of the most underrated players in the NFL along the defensive line. Rankins, Onyemata, and Brown will create a formidable starting trio at defensive tackle. Davenport was a raw prospect as a rookie last year, but he should make a big jump in year two. Hendrickson and Horton offer good depth along the edge while Edwards and Williams will be involved in the interior rotation.
