12. Jason Verrett
Don’t let the size fool you—even though he’s 5’10” and 188 pounds, the San Diego Chargers cornerback is a nitroglycerin-powered defensive dynamo. Verrett made the Pro Bowl in just his second season in 2015 while shutting down wideouts like Golden Tate, Antonio Brown, and Demaryius Thomas, helping the Chargers defense emerge as one of the best young units in the NFL. The California native has been laying out hard hits for quite a long time—back when he playing college ball at Texas Christian, Verrett knocked out Texas Tech tight end Jace Amaro with a perfectly placed shoulder hit.
