DL1: Chris Jones, Kansas City Chiefs

Sayre Bedinger

For full-time players, no defender had a higher grade in the AFC West last year than Chris Jones (90.6).

This is particularly impressive because he’s the focus for teams when they go up against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Regardless of position, Jones is one of the best and most consistently disruptive pass rushers in the NFL today.

Last season, he racked up a whopping 74 total pressures, 15.5 sacks, 19 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, five batted passes, and an interception which he returned for a touchdown, thank you very much.

Aaron Donald gets most of the publicity, but Chris Jones is right on his heels for being the most dominant interior player in the NFL.
