15. Max Unger – Former second round pick out of Oregon in the 2009 NFL Draft was the top center in the NFL in 2012-2013 with the Seahawks. He was traded to the New Orleans Saints last year in the Jimmy Graham trade and had his best season since 2013 after he missed 10 games in 2014.

14. Cameron Jordan – The lone bright spot on the porous Saints defense. The former first rounder out of Cal has 38 sacks in the last four years and two Pro Bowl selections.

13. Kyle Long – Former first round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft out of Oregon barely played for the Ducks but has been one of the best guards in the NFL with the Chicago Bears. He is a three-time Pro Bowler and a second-team All-Pro in 2014. He’s the face of the Bears.

12. Clay Matthews III – Former first rounder out of USC is a six-time Pro Bowler with 67.5 career sacks. He is a two-time second-team All-Pro and was a first-team All-Pro in 2011 after making a career-high 13.5 sacks.

11. Everson Griffen – The former fourth round pick out of USC is one of the most underrated players in the NFL. Griffen made his first Pro Bowl in 2015 after picking up 10.5 sacks. He had a career-high 12 in 2014 in his breakout season.
