31. Chris Jones

Chris Jones entered a sweet situation in the NFL in 2016, as he was drafted by a team on the rise (Kansas City) who could use a pass rusher.

The former Mississippi State star started more games than not in his first two seasons, and would be named an All-Rookie. Jones was a permanent starter for the Chiefs in his third year, accumulating 15.5 Sacks, 19 Tackles for Loss and 29 Quarterback Hits, which netted him a Second Team All-Pro nod. Following that, Jones was consistently double-teamed, but remained Kansas City’s top pass-rusher.

Jones was named to four straight Pro Bowls, with a First Team All-Pro coming last season, where he equaled his best mark of 15.5 Sacks. To date, Jones has a pair of Super Bowl Rings, 65 Sacks, and is the leader of the Chiefs’ defense.
