When Denico Autry was signed as a free agent out of Oakland, not many people gave it a thought. He had been mostly a reserve throughout his career, and looked like he was signed to help with depth along the defensive line. Man was that wrong.

Autry has been a beast this season. After starting out the season slowly because of injuries, he has turned it on the last couple of months. Since week 10, he has 6 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. He has wrecked the inside of the line for weeks now.

Alongside Margus Hunt, Autry has line up at defensive tackle and done a great job pushing the inside to plug up holes in the running game and pressure the quarterback. He has allowed the defensive line to keep runners at bay. No player has 100 yards rushing on the Colts this season.

Defense has been key on this team this year, and the next guy on the list is the best of the bunch.
