1. DL Dalvin Tomlinson
The unsung hero of the NY Giants’ defensive line – and maybe the entire defense in general – Dalvin Tomlinson continues to improve year by year and even added a serious pass-rushing element to his game in 2019.
Since being drafted in 2017 in the Jerry Reese era (he’s one of the last survivors), Tomlinson has been the epitome of consistency. Playing in and starting all 48 games of his NY Giants career, Tomlinson has clearly shown that he is a top-notch run stopper, accumulating an astounding 81 solo tackles amongst 158 total tackles.
His Pro Football Focus grade has been above 75 all three years of his career, but what puts him in the 2020 Pro Bowl conversation is that he finally began to figure out how to rush the passer.
In his first two years, he had 1 QB hit and 1 sack combined; in his third year, he increased those numbers exponentially with 9 QB hits and 3.5 sacks, while still being the same old solid run stuffer.
If he continues on this upward projector in a contract year, there’s a very decent chance Tomlison could be headed to his first Pro Bowl in 2020.
