Tennessee Titans: DE Jevon Kearse

You don’t get nicknamed “The Freak” for no reason. Furthermore, you also don’t help a team get to the Super Bowl as a rookie, and then in your first season with another team, you get back to the Super Bowl again unless you are a nasty dude, and by bad, we mean good. Kearse was a menace to the opposition. Kearse was a nightmare even in the Super Bowl losses against the Rams and Patriots.

Over 70 sacks in his career and a constant desire to get after the quarterback makes Kearse a feared pass rusher, but he also was not immune to providing some trash talk to get in the heads of opposing linemen, allowing his teammates to hunt freely. That’s a true villain right there; in this case, it’s a friendly honor.
