30. Yannick Ngakoue

Yannick Ngakoue played the first four seasons in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars, though it was mostly known for its acrimonious end.

Playing at Defensive End, the former Maryland Terrapin was a starter as a rookie (2016), and in his second season, he would lead the NFL in Forced Fumbles (6) and had 12 Sacks.  That year would earn Ngakoue a Pro Bowl nod, which is his only one as a Jag.  Ngakoue became disenchanted with Jacksonville, and sought a departure via social media, which he would get, via a trade to Minnesota. Ngakoue had 37.5 Sacks for Jacksonville
