Jason Taylor
Jason Taylor, a 2017 Hall of Fame inductee, was an excellent athlete who used his length and quickness to cause havoc on opposing defenses. Over the course of 15 seasons, the Dolphin legend racked up 139.5 sacks. His most productive season was in 2002, when he had a league-high 18.5 sacks and placed second in Defensive Player of the Year voting. While some believed Taylor had peaked that season, he silenced all naysayers by having another monster year in 2006. Taylor was named Defensive Player of the Year after leading a stacked Miami defense to 13.5 sacks, nine forced fumbles, 11 deflected passes, and two defensive touchdowns.

Simeon Rice
Simeon Rice came into the league with a lot of hype and more than lived up to it. Rice tied the NFL record for first-year sacks with 12.5 in his debut season. He was named to the Pro Bowl three times. Rice was awarded First-Team All-Pro in 2002 after recording 15.5 sacks. He later contributed to the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl victory by recording two sacks in the game. Rice was an ironman (he missed only two games in ten years) who tended to perform best on the largest stage.
