OXNARD, Calif. -- It was just two short offseasons ago that you couldn't take part in any conversation about the NFL's best pass-rushers without Los Angeles Rams defensive end Robert Quinn's name figuring prominently in the conversation.
Quinn was coming off a franchise record-setting 19 sacks in the 2013 season. That dominance landed him first-team All Pro honors as well as his first trip to the Pro Bowl. Pro Football Focus rated Quinn the No. 2 player in the league, the NFL Network placed him 13th and ESPN.com declared him the sixth-best defensive player.
