In celebration of Halloween here are the top 10 scariest NFL defensive players I ever saw play: 10. Ted Hendricks: His nickname was the Mad Stork. That says it all. 9. Rich Jackson: A knee injury cut his career short in the early 70’s, but for five years this Broncos pass rusher was as feared […]

Schwartz is an early candidate for Defensive Coordinator of the Year for turning around the Eagles. 9. The NFC East is […]
