94. Cameron Jordan, DE, New Orleans Saints

The heart and soul of the New Orleans Saints defense, Cameron Jordan enters his ninth season in the NFL on the heels of his fourth double-digit sack campaign. He’s a four-time Pro Bowl selection and one-time First-Team All-Pro.

95. Chris Jones, DE, Kansas City Chiefs

Listed at an imposing 6-6 and 310 pounds, Chris Jones has developed into one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL. Originally a defensive tackle at Mississippi State, Jones transitioned into a defensive end in the Chiefs 3-4 defensive line. By his second season in the league, he was a solid player at the spot and by his third season, he was downright nasty.

Jones finished 2018 with 40 tackles and 15.5 sacks to lead the team. What was most impressive is he nearly doubled his career total of 8.5 sacks in that season alone.

96. Akiem Hicks, DT, Chicago Bears

Originally part of the New Orleans Saints, and later the New England Patriots, Akiem Hicks didn’t really hit his stride until he joined the Chicago Bears in 2016. Since joining the Bears, he’s gone from a hard-working defensive tackle to a dominant interior pass rusher. In three seasons with Chicago, he has 163 tackles and 23 sacks.
