PHILADELPHIA, PA – NOVEMBER 05: Defensive end Brandon Graham
PHILADELPHIA, PA – NOVEMBER 05: Defensive end Brandon Graham /

Vinny Curry, DE

Vinny Curry has been all over the place recently. Before the season even started everybody couldn’t help but discuss how much of a disappointment he has been. Now that we are nine games in, Curry has been an animal. He wasn’t quite ready to lose his spot to the rookie Derek Barnett so he made sure to step his game up this season. 26 tackles and three sacks later and Curry is on the ballot.

Brandon Graham, DE

Brandon Graham has been widely criticized over the last season for only having 5.5 sacks. Apparently, the constant pressure that he puts on quarterbacks tends to go unnoticed when it’s not on the stat sheet. This season’s statistics look a lot better though. 25 tackles and five sacks has Graham looking a lot more reliable on the defensive front in comparison to last season. With seven games remaining, Graham has the opportunity to blow last years numbers out of the water.

Fletcher Cox, DT

The Pro Bowl is nothing new to Fletcher Cox. He is a two-time Pro Bowler who has been selected the last two consecutive seasons. Cox works to get his third Pro Bowl honors this season as he continues to dominate offensive lineman up front. He doesn’t even need to get by a lineman, he just pushes them back into their own quarterback. Problem solved.

Timmy Jernigan, DT

The new money man! Timmy Jernigan returns from the Eagles bye week with a new contract. He has been unstoppable to offensive lines in the run game. He is partly the reason why the Eagles are currently the top run stuffing defense in the NFL. A Pro Bowl selection will look really good with his new paycheck that earned this season.
