2. Eddie Goldman, NT
2015 NFL Draft, No. 39 overall
Nose tackle Eddie Goldman is one of the most underrated defensive players in the NFL. And Goldman has proven to be one of Pace’s better draft picks over the years. Goldman does the dirty work in the trenches and doesn’t necessarily get the attention.
In five years with the Bears, Goldman has amassed 102 tackles, 12.5 sacks, one safety and one pass defensed. His presence on the Bears defensive line has proved to be invaluable, and it’s why it was an easy decision for Pace to re-sign Goldman to a second contract — a four-year deal worth $42 million with $25 million guaranteed.
