Fletcher Cox is the unsung hero of the Eagles defense

The word I most often associate with Fletcher Cox is "beast." At only 24 years old, he's already one of the best players at his position in the NFL. He's a dominant monster on the field. He's great at both generating pressure (though it doesn't always show in the stats) and stopping the run. Unfortunately for Cox, his job isn't the most glamorous one and he doesn't always get the attention he deserves. Cox was named a sixth team alternate for the 2015 Pro Bowl.

Perhaps the good news is that some national guys are starting to catch on to the greatness of Cox.
