Sacks: Vinny Curry

This is the year Vinny Curry becomes a household name. Curry is a freak of a pass rusher and will absolutely dominate in the Eagles’ new 4-3 scheme.

But before reading any further, here’s a little something to ponder for a moment:

Now consider that Curry wasn’t even a natural fit in a 3-4 defense.

Oh. My. God.

Curry is going to put up massive numbers with Fletcher Cox and Bennie Logan commanding extra attention in the middle of the defensive line and the Eagles seem to recognize that considering their decision to pay him $47.5 million over the next five years.

Prediction: 56 tackles, 15.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles
