Oluokun might be the NFL’s best player that has yet to be named to a Pro Bowl. The 29-year-old has twice led the NFL in both total and solo tackles. Last year, Oluokun filled the stat sheet with 173 tackles (including a league-high 111 solo stops), 2.5 sacks, three fumble recoveries, a forced fumble and a pick-six.
A former sixth-round pick, Oluokun started his career with the Falcons back in 2018. He broke into the starting lineup in 2020 and led the NFL in tackles for the first time a season later. Oluokun led the NFL in tackles a second time in 2022, his first season in Jacksonville.
