This week’s unsung hero has made a great contribution to the defense this season and could very well find himself in a situation to compete for a starting job next year if Derek Wolfe and/or Malik Jackson leave in Free Agency after this season.
As a matter of fact, this player got the starting job the first four games of the season in place of the suspended Wolfe. Like many other “unsung heroes”, this guy may not put up the gaudiest numbers on the stat sheet, but his presence on the team holds a lot of weight.
He can play all three defensive line positions, has started over 30 games in his NFL career and is playing for a third AFC West team in his career.
