Honorable Mention: Connor Barwin
Connor Barwin has already been a huge impact for this defense the year before and it would be impossible to leave him out of this list. He is obviously a huge part of the defense itself and he is a big reason a lot of the guys play at the level they do.

It is refreshing to watch a player like Barwin play on the Eagles as he just shows up and does his job. Barwin is a leader on and off the field and if you talk about how the Eagles defense has improved, you can put a big portion of that to the man who has been doing it big for the Eagles the last two years. Barwin has bought into the culture here in Philly and it has reflected in his play.
Regular season stats: 17 total tackles, 2 sacks, and 1 pass deflection.
