One of the stronger position groups on the team, the defensive line has been a cornerstone for the FSU football program in recent years.
From athletic pass rushers like Brian Burns and Demarcus Walker to stout run stoppers like Derrick Nnadi and Marvin Wilson, the d-line has produced several dominant players in the past decade.
This past season, the d-line was one of the few consistent bright spots on a struggling defense. Marvin Wilson was putting together an All-American caliber season before succumbing to injury.
Robert Cooper continued to improve and showed flashes of becoming a truly dominant nose tackle.
