After being named as a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career, the Defensive End is comparable with some of the biggest names in the league at his position. A career year saw Cox rack up a monster 9.5 sacks and an intimidating 50 tackles. At just 25 and entering a 4-3 system that would only tend to his skill set, Cox could enjoy another career season.
