Olivier Vernon

Olivier Vernon had a nice collegiate career at the University of Miami, and the local pro team noticed, as the Miami Dolphins made the Defensive End a Third Round Pick in 2012.

Vernon became a starter as an NFL sophomore at Right Defensive End, and in that year, he had a career-best 11.5 Sacks.  Joining the New York Giants in 2016, Vernon was a Second Team All-Pro and would be a Pro Bowler in 2018.  He played two more years in Cleveland, and had a total of 63.5 Sacks over a nine-year run.
