Jevon Kearse
Kearse, a first-round choice of the Titans in 1999, wasted no time establishing himself as one of the league’s premier pass rushers. Kearse has 14.5 sacks, eight pass deflections, and a league-high nine caused fumbles in his first season. He was selected Rookie of the Year and finished second in the voting for Defensive Player of the Year. His quickness, stature, and explosiveness earned him the moniker “The Freak.” Despite the fact that Kearse’s career was brief, his influence was felt. He was widely considered as one of the era’s most feared pass rushers.

Myles Garrett
Myles Garrett has accomplished so much in his six-year career and continues to improve. Garrett’s finest season to date was in 2022. After posting 16.0 sacks in 16 games, the former No. 1 overall pick finished fifth in Defensive Player of the Year voting. Since 2018, Garrett has ranked second in sacks (67.5). In each of the four seasons in which he has been totally healthy, he has been named a Pro Bowler and an All-Pro pick. The Cleveland edge rusher is the type of player around whom an entire defense can be built. And he’s still in the prime of his career.
