2020 NFL First-Team All-Pro Defense

Edge Rushers

Nick Bosa, San Francisco 49ers
Khalil Mack, Chicago Bears

Bosa had an incredible rookie season, notching nine sacks and earning his first Pro Bowl appearance. Now, with a full season under his belt, expect Bosa to establish himself as the best pass-rusher in the NFL.

For Mack, his down year in 2019 consisted of 8.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and a Pro Bowl appearance. Never fear, he’ll be back in 2020, and reclaim his top-tier status as a result.

2019 Honorees: Chandler Jones, Arizona Cardinas; T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh Steelers

Interior Linemen

Aaron Donald, Los Angeles Rams
Chris Jones, Kansas City Chiefs

In six seasons, Donald has six Pro Bowl appearances, five consecutive First-Team All-Pro selections, and three Defensive Player of the Year awards on his Hall of Fame resume. He has a chance to go down as the best defensive tackle in NFL history.

As for Jones, he signed a four-year, $85 million deal on Tuesday with the Chiefs. It’s for good reason, as Kansas City wouldn’t have won the title in February without his dominance down the stretch, particularly in the Super Bowl.

Linebackers

Bobby Wagner, Seattle Seahawks
Darius Leonard, Indianapolis Colts
Lavonte David, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

There are a handful of extremely talented, young linebackers in the NFL. Still, this was an easy decision. Wagner is the best linebacker in football with five First-Team All-Pro honors to his name.

Meanwhile, both Leonard and David are rising stars who might be nearing their peaks in 2020.
