5. Tennessee Titans

The pass rush and overall play of the front seven took a big step forward for the Tennessee Titans defense in 2016, but this is still a unit that isn’t quite ready to make the leap into the top 10 units in the NFL. Primarily the problem rests in their secondary. Quarterbacks often had way too easy a time passing against them, and it cost them one too many games. If a playoff push is going to happen in 2017, it’s time to add playmakers on the back end. <p>There might not be a bigger playmaker than Malik Hooker. Drawing Ed Reed comparisons, he was a revelation this season. The roving thief of the Ohio State defense, he collected seven interceptions and returned three of them for touchdowns. His athleticism, speed, ball skills and size all stand out on tape. This despite just one full year of starting in college. One can just imagine how much better he’ll get with experience.</p>. S. Ohio State. Malik Hooker . 5. player. 35
