39. Brian Orakpo — Linebacker — Tennessee Titans

A big reason the Titans are expected to win the AFC South in 2017 is because of players like Brian Orakpo.

The former first round draft pick of the Washington Redskins came to Nashville in 2015. Orakpo immediately made an impact for the Titans, as he was named a defensive captain just a few weeks into the season.

Orakpo made his fourth career Pro-Bowl this past season. His 10.5 sacks last season were his most since he had 11 in his rookie season in 2009.
