Bears combination of Khalil Mack, Roquan Smith, and Eddie Jackson puts them on the top of the list. Excerpt here:
1. Chicago Bears
DL Khalil Mack, LB Roquan Smith, DB Eddie Jackson
The pinnacle of defensive football in 2018, the Bears were led by two superstars and a budding rookie. Mack and Jackson were both first-team All-Pros after the former notched 12.5 sacks and six forced fumbles while the latter led the league in turnovers forced. Smith, meanwhile, flashed dominant coverage skills in the later stages of his rookie campaign and a sophomore leap is well within reach for the 2018 first-rounder. With studs at each level of the field, Chicago's stop unit is set to dominate once again this season, even without Vic Fangio.
