Baltimore Ravens: LB Za’Darius Smith
The Baltimore Ravens don’t have a shortage of pass-rushers. Terrell Suggs is still the centerpiece of the defense, even in his 16th season. Matt Judon finished second on the team in sacks last season, racking up eight. Tim Williams, whom the team selected in the third round of the 2017 draft, is in the mix as well.
But Za’Darius Smith is the emerging star in this group.
Smith and Judon have rotated as the starter opposite Suggs this season, but Smith staked his claim as the team’s best edge-rusher with two sacks and six more quarterback hits.
