Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was ranked eighth among NFL interior defensive linemen by Touchdown Wire.
As our friends over at Touchdown Wire continue their rankings of the best players at each position, Buckner came in at No. 8 overall. With some new additions coming to the defensive front, Buckner should see his production rise in 2022.
There aren’t many linemen who can do everything Buckner does from nose tackle to edge, especially at his size (6-foot-7, 295 pounds). With Paye coming into his second NFL season, and the addition of Yannick Ngakoue to bolster the edge, we could see a renaissance season from one of the best interior disruptors of his era.
