4. Cam Heyword 87.4
5. Chris Jones 85.9

According to game day chat, he's actually mediocre because of his height.

Haha, all ridiculous and hilarious things aside, Poona is emerging as a cornerstone of the defense and the best lineman on the team. His leverage is great, he absolutely rips through gaps that present themselves, and he's on an upward trajectory. Bona fide beast.

Being short can have its advantages when it comes to leverage. There were some rather wild and unrealistic expectations for him last year, but he's coming around. Hardly anybody excels in their first season, especially undrafted free agents.

Absolutely!
