Was Hawkins a first-rounder? Didn't he have a great freshman year, then tore up his knee?

Brown's last season was '86. Stubbs was '87. Kennedy transferred before the '88 season. He played with Maryland. The were #3 and #1 overall picks. Medearis never played with Kennedy but he played with Warren Sapp and of course, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

2007 Giants had an ELITE dline. That’s the gold standard in the NFL for me. Eagles dline this past season was a force as well.

I remember Jared Allen being a wrecking ball for the Chiefs and Vikings.

If you are going with TJ, then you have to put big brother on there.

The Texans wasted his prime years.

Reggie White

49ers had one of the most dominant pair of DTs with Dana Stubbefield and Brian Young in the 90s.

Haiti Ngata was a lot of fun to watch. Was a brick wall at best and a slow moving Zamboni.

As an Oregon fan I’ve never really got to watch a dominant lineman. Buckner was good but I feel our DC couldn’t use him and Armstead correctly

1991 Eagles DL with Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Clyde Simmons, and Mike Golic.

Saints had a solid DL line but had the linebackers of Jackson, Swilling, Mills, and Johnson. Saints somehow won that game at Philly. Saints were losing 3-6 when Hebert was knocked out of the game. Steve Walsh came in and led the Saints a TD to eventually win the game 13 - 6. One of the hardest hitting games you will ever see with 2 top defenses battling it out.

In the NFL, probably Reggie White. In college, I saw Dwight Freeney play at Syracuse a lot. I don't think there's a defender with a better spin move than him.
