Defensive Line

  • Ndamukong Suh
  • Vita Vea
  • Beau Allen
  • William Gholston
  • Rakeem Nunez-Roches
  • Terry Beckner Jr.
  • Jeremiah Ledbetter

Suh and Vea have been nearly unblockable this preseason until Vea suffered an injury that has kept him out in recent weeks. Allen and Gholston have performed well in the starting unit as well. Versatility is the name of the game for the backups as Nunez-Roches, Ledbetter, and seventh-round pick Beckner can play any of the three positions along the defensive line.

Player to watch: Patrick O’Connor
