Aaron Charles Donald is an American football defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League. ''First Ram to win NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors. The league's most disruptive interior lineman, Donald may actually be even more effective in 2018 with Ndamukong Suh beside him in defensive coordinator Wade Phillips' 3-4 scheme.''
He can tackle anybody.
Fletcher Cox is an American football defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. ''Flourished in the postseason with eight quarterback hits on Tom Brady in Super Bowl 52 and seven tackles during Philadelphia's second-round playoff win over Atlanta. Tied for fourth among all defensive tackles in sacks since 2015 with 21.5.''
Kawann Arcell Short is an American football defensive tackle for the Carolina Panthers of the National Football League.
Jurrell Casey is an American football defensive end for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League. ''His presence helped the Titans reach the playoffs for the first time since 2009. Potential to produce like Baltimore's Brandon Williams did under new Titans defensive coordinator Dean Pees.''
Gerald Keith McCoy Jr. is an American football defensive tackle for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. ''Easily the Bucs' best defensive lineman but would be even more effective with a better supporting cast.''
''Led all defensive tackles in sacks (nine) for the fifth time in his eight-year career. Holds the franchise sack record for interior defensive linemen with 61.''
