One year in the league, one appearance on the Top 100 list. McConkey was everything the Chargers could hope for and more as a rookie. He led the team in targets, receptions and yards, only getting stronger as the season progressed. The shoes left by the departed Keenan Allen as an always-open chain-mover fit remarkably well. Now, McConkey enters Year 2 as L.A.'s unquestioned WR1.
NFL Pro Insight for McConkey: McConkey had 50-plus receiving yards in each of his final 10 games of 2024. That is tied with Malik Nabers for the longest streak by any rookie since 1970.
2024 stats: 16 games | 64 tackles | 16 tfl | 11 sacks | 1 INT | 1 TD
What did Williams do to celebrate hitting the decade mark in the NFL? Nothing major, apart from producing his finest season yet. He reached double-digit sacks for the second time as a pro and snapped a seven-year Pro Bowl drought during his first full campaign with the Seahawks. His 87.1 PFF defensive grade marked the best in his career by far, something he’ll look to build on now that he's fully immersed in Mike Macdonald’s scheme.
NFL Pro Insight for Williams: Williams generated 50 total pressures last season, the fourth-most among defensive tackles. Williams also recorded a position-high 11.0 sacks and finished with the second-highest sack rate (2.5%) among defensive tackles with at least 200 pass rushes (Dexter Lawrence, 2.9%).
