The 20 Best NFL Defensive Player Seasons in the Last 25 Years

7. Rob Burnett, Baltimore Ravens (2000)

For all the great Ravens defenses in the late '90s and early 2000s, Lewis couldn't be the only player to make this list.

The other is Rob Burnett, who played six seasons for the Ravens. In his fifth season with the franchise, the defensive end took down opposing quarterbacks 10.5 times, which was the most he's done in one year. He also made 40 tackles, forced 3 fumbles and recovered 5 more before ending the season with an AV of 21.
