The retirement of former Los Angeles Rams star Aaron Donald left a void that Kansas City Chiefs star Chris Jones is poised to fill.

The Athletic's Jeff Howe spoke to a rival coach who said, "Chris Jones is now in a league of his own on the inside."

Howe added that the five-time Pro Bowler "could strengthen his Hall of Fame candidacy by taking over as the league's best defensive tackle."

Jones is coming off his second straight first-team All-Pro selection after he posted 30 tackles, 10.
