Eddie Goldman remains one of the most underrated players on Chicago’s defense, as he takes care of the dirty work in the trenches on one of the league’s best defensive fronts. Goldman has easily been one of Pace’s best selections — and a vital member of Chicago’s ferocious defense.

After an impressive rookie season, where he tallied 4.5 sacks and 22 sacks before being limited by injury, he followed that up with 44 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 15 games in 2017. Goldman earned a well-deserved second contract from the Bears before the start of the 2018 season. And he’s proven to be worth every penny of the four-year, $42 million deal ever since.
