No. 2 Snub – Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney 

Admittedly, with only three sacks on the year, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney’s stats do not leap off the page at first glance.

However, raw numbers hardly ever tell the whole story. When watching the Seahawks defense, it’s painfully obvious how much Clowney disrupts opposing offensive lines. Clowney is a pure force, consistently breaking through to harass quarterbacks and running backs.

The biggest example was on “Monday Night Football” against the 49ers. Clowney was everywhere and a major factor why the Seahawks were able to ruin the Niners’ perfect season.

Clowney is also still the only front seven defender with multiple touchdowns (2) on the year.
