It’s hard not to get excited about the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive front with the 6-foot-8 pass rusher breathing down the necks of opposing quarterbacks. While Calais Campbell wasn’t the only star on the Jaguars defense, he stood out, not only in size but in his domination from the “big end” position. As the catalyst of this unit, the Jaguars finished second overall in defense in the NFL in 2017.
Adam Schein of NFL.com got it right when he listed Campbell as one of the NFL’s most indispensable players. In his story which lists the top nine defensive stars that teams cannot do without, he comes in seventh, overall.
