The Ole Miss Rebels football team has seen some ridiculous talent on its defensive line over the years. Players like Peria Jerry, CJ Johnson, Jerrell Powe and Robert Nkemdiche were the basis for a lot of fins thrown up in Vaught Hemingway in crucial moments of some of the biggest games in the last decade.
A general school of thought is that a defense in football is built upon a strong, chaos causing defensive line. Defensive tackles who can blow up the middle of an offensive line affect the run game or disrupt timing.
