2. Chandler Jones, Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals pulled off a huge trade two years ago to get Chandler Jones away from the New England Patriots.

Jones flashed his elite pass rush skills with New England but has blossomed into one of the best rushers in the game after just two seasons in Arizona.

He finished the 2017 season with 41 hurries, 18 hits, and a whopping 17 sacks.

His 17 sacks in 2017 were the second-best total in the entire NFL.

Over the past three seasons, Jones has 40 sacks and 10 forced fumbles.

As far as being a difference maker goes, he’s one of the best in the league. His combination of speed and length off the edge make him very difficult for NFL offensive linemen to keep up with.
