SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA – DECEMBER 27: Austin Jackson #73 of the USC Trojans blocks A.J. Epenesa #94 of the Iowa Hawkeyes during the second half of the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl at SDCCU Stadium on December 27, 2019, in San Diego, California. (Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images) /

2. player. 878. . . . A.J. Epenesa

A.J. Epenesa racked up 49 tackles, 11.5 sacks, three passes defended in 2019, and the four forced fumbles he caused en route to a second-straight First-team All-Big Ten nod will be talked about as well. He’s six-foot-five. He weighs 277 pounds, and he can run the 40-yard dash in less than five seconds.

Imagine having that type of presence bearing down on your signal-caller.

Epenesa will be a first-round pick unless he implodes at the NFL Combine. His versatility helps to make him a priority as he can play the edge in a traditional 4-3, or he can hold down the outside linebacker position in a 3-4 scheme. His stat line was very impressive in his final run with the Iowa Hawkeyes as he contributed 49 total tackles, 11.5 sacks, and four forced fumbles to their cause.
