Ziggy Ansah is currently tied for the league lead in sacks after rattling off 3.5 against the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that passed on him in the 2013 draft.

Ziggy Ansah doesn’t carry himself like a 279-pound bruiser.
Ansah talks with a quiet tenor, maintains his manners when speaking and portrays more of reserved personality than a rugged one.
That’s the thing with 26-year-old Accra, Ghana native, he’s not someone where what you see on the surface tells the whole story.
