3. Eddie Jackson

Nobody is going to dispute the ranking of Eddie Jackson at this point. He is one of the elite game changers in the NFL, let alone on the Chicago Bears. Jackson is third on the defense in snaps played.

This year he has a career-high four interceptions and has taken two all the way to the house. He also has a fumble return for a touchdown. He forced a fumble as well and has two tackles for loss and a hit.

Jackson is allowing 7.4 yards per target and a 91 passer rating. However, the stats do not put into context what he has done. Well, the touchdowns do. He changes the game. One area where he has gotten better this season is moving downhill towards the football. It has made him a complete player and has given the Bears the ability to be more versatile with him. This combination has turned Jackson into a valued threat.
