There weren’t any surprises with this group. Leonard and Walker led the way while the former played the second-most snaps among all defensive players in 2019 despite missing three games with a concussion.
Okereke was the one that emerged to be the third linebacker. He had a strong second half of the season that could put him in the running for a starting role in 2020.
Adams and Franklin continue to lead the special teams unit for the second year in a row.
