The Best
Leonard Williams, DE, Jets
The "Big Cat" is enjoying a fine first season in the NFL, starting all 12 games for New York, which is in the middle of the playoff picture. The rookie has made 46 tackles, including his first full sack in the Jets comeback win over the rival Giants on Sunday. Earlier this fall, Mel Kiper Jr. placed Williams atop his rookie rankings for having a major impact on the Jets' run defense, which ranks first in the NFL.
