8. Leonard Floyd

Floyd is entering his third season in the NFL. After a seven-sack rookie season, the arrow was pointing directly upon his progression.

However, after just 4.5 sacks in 10 games, an ACL injury sidelined Floyd for the season. 11.5 sacks in two years is a strong start and leave the expectations that more can come. However, there are also questions that linger.

7.5 of his 11.5 sacks have come in four games. He tends to run hot and cold, and while he can take advantage of the situation, he is not the best when it comes to one-on-one combat.

On top of that is the obvious concern of coming off of an ACL injury. Floyd did take to the field in OTAs and should be ready to go fully on the first day of training camp. Still, he will not only need to prove that he is healthy but also prove that he is a more consistent player in his third season.

With all of that in mind, he truly has to carry what is looked at as the worst position on the team in terms of depth. This is going to be a huge season for Leonard Floyd.
