Heyward made the Top 100 for the third time in his eight-year NFL career. In 2018, Heyward was ranked No. 48 when he recorded a career-high 12 sacks.
Heyward’s sacks total dipped to eight last season, which might have factored into his lower ranking. Heyward also had three passes defensed, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. He contributed 10 tackles for loss and 18 quarterback hits.
The list continues Wednesday when players ranked Nos. 80-71 will be unveiled.
