The BestRyan Kalil, C, Panthers
Carolina's captain is leading the charge on a surprising 8-0 start. Despite a short week coming off an overtime win on Monday Night Football, the Panthers stunned the Packers in Lambeau Field. Besides leadership, Kalil is still getting it done on the field in his ninth NFL season. He is at the center of an offensive line which is paving the way for the league's top rushing offense.
