re: Who are the 5 best NFL defensive players of the last 30 years?

Sure I do. JJ Watt is the best defensive player I’ve ever seen, with arguably the best single season from a defensive player ever. When healthy, there was no one better.

Pretty sure his 5 healthy first team all-pro years and 3 dpoy’s qualify him for your discussion. At his peak, no one was better.

How many guys can get you 20 sacks as a 3-4 DE, be awesome against the run and set record for most tfl’s in a season, and also have as many pd’s as a good cb season, all in the same season? It’s sad injuries are gonna diminish his career and how people view how good he was.
