2. Bobby Wagner
CarAV: 60
Talk about a Day-2 steal! It hasn't taken long for Bobby Wagner to surpass expectations in Seattle. Through 72 games, the inside linebacker has 410 tackles, 25 passes defended and 14 sacks in his career.
Every season has resulted in an AV of 10 or more for Wagner, but 2016 was the benchmark for Wagner's greatness. With an AV of 17, the 26-year-old made 86 tackles, recorded 4.5 sacks and 3 pass defenses in 16 starts.
For the third time in his career, Wagner was sent to the Pro Bowl. And for the second time in three years, he added All-Pro to his personal accomplishments, which also include a Super Bowl title in 2013.
