Daron Payne

Payne has missed just one game in six seasons since Washington took him 13th overall in the 2018 NFL Draft, but the quality of his performance hasn't been as consistent as his availability. He's often received poor PFF grades for run defense, though in 2022 he made up for it with career highs in sacks (11.5) and QB hits (20) in the first season of his four-year, $90 million extension. Payne then dropped off to four sacks and 11 QB hits in 2023, with his 53 tackles being a career low. That said, he's at least been remarkably consistent with the tackle totals, landing between 53 and 64 each season.
