Strong, evil, and surprisingly athletic, the sophomore lineman is already one of the league’s most dominant players at his position. The South Caldwell High School graduate earned his first Pro Bowl nod this season. Dickerson appeared to have injured his elbow towards the end of the NFC Championship game, so it’s worth watching.

The Eagles’ 2022 first-round pick showed early signs he could deliver on his game-changing promise by midway through the season. Davis suffered a severe ankle sprain in late October after being rolled into a heap. Davis is now sharing snaps with former pro bowlers Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh, who were signed during his injury streak.

Hargrave, one of the league’s best pass-rushing defensive tackles, finished his seventh regular season with 11 sacks and was named a Pro Bowl alternate. Hargrave played an integral role in helping the Eagles reach 78 team sacks this season, the second-highest in NFL history behind the 1984 Chicago Bears.
Kansas City bosses

After going without a North Carolina player for some time, the Chiefs drafted JH Rose alum Cornell Powell in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Powell is currently on the Practice Squad/Injured list.

The Chiefs made sure to draft standout Fayetteville State defenseman Joshua Williams this past April. Williams is a graduate of Jack Britt High School. Williams had five total tackles, defeating Joe Burrow in the AFC Championship game after starter L’Jarius Sneed was injured. In the regular season, Williams started four games and was credited for 40 tackles, one interception and seven pass breakups.
