Chris Jones, Kansas City Chiefs<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Highest ranking: 1 | Lowest ranking: 10<br \/>Age: 32 | Last year\u2019s ranking: 2<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Jones is heralded as an all-time Chief, and for good reason. He has made seven consecutive Pro Bowls and has had back-to-back-to-back All-Pro nods (2022 to 2024). But 2024\u2019s top defensive tackle has slipped in the voting for the second consecutive year, which can be expected after 10 years in the league at a demanding position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">\u201cHe\u2019s still a guy you have to game-plan for, but you don\u2019t feel him as much as you used to,\u201d an NFL coordinator said. \u201cHe\u2019s been one of the best for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1bij9g78 _1mt21p01\">Jones still posted a 18.9% pass rush win rate &#8212; tops among defensive tackles &#8212; and 7.0 sacks in 2025. He led the league in pass-rush wins when double-teamed (22) and led interior linemen in pressures (45). Some evaluators thought Jones\u2019 728 snaps played in 2024 were too many and that Kansas City would benefit from reducing that number slightly to keep him fresh. Well, he played 762 snaps in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"4.
