13. C.J. Mosley

An NCAA Champion and SEC Defensive Player of the Year, C.J. Mosley would be a 1st Round Draft Pick by the Ravens in 2014 and was an instant success going to the Pro Bowl and earning a Second Team All-Pro nod.  Mosley was a tackling industry recording over 100 Combined Tackles in four of his five seasons with Baltimore and he would match his rookie year in 2016, 2017 and 2018 with Second Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl Selections.  Mosley didn’t pass rush much (he only had 8.5 Quarterback Sacks) but interior work was extraordinary and it was a significant loss for the team when he signed with the New York Jets after the 2018 Season.

2023 Pre-Season Rank #32, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #41, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #44, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #45.  Peak Period: 2014-18

Mosley’s AV/G is higher than the average MPA for a Linebacker, though his traditional numbers are low for this stage of his career, and he doesn’t have that First Team All-Pro.  After five years in Baltimore, Mosley joined the Jets in 2019 but only played two games due to a groin injury and opted out of 2020 due to COVID concerns.  2021 was not the comeback he needed, but 2022 was, where he added Pro Bowl and Second Team All-Pro number five.  He is also on a three-year streak of at least 150 Tackles.

As a star of the Jets front-seven, his stock will rocket if the Jets and Mosely have a great 2024.
