2025 NFL Free Agents: Defensive Tackle

Poona Ford had a great year as a stout run defender and was able to get some pressure on the quarterback.

Calais Campbell’s pass-rushing skills aren’t what they once were, but he’s still dominant against the run.

Milton Williams did well as a rotational pass rusher last year. He logged six sacks, though he didn’t do as well in run support.

Maliek Collins is a quality pass rusher, but struggles against the run.

B.J. Hill is a strong run defender who can get to the quarterback occasionally.

Osa Odighizuwa was a liability in run support, but was able to produce seven sacks as a quality interior pass rusher.

Sebastian Joseph-Day was a tough run defender last year.

Teair Tart played well last year as a rotational defensive lineman.

Mike Hoecht has produced an average of five sacks per year over the past three seasons, all while holding up well against the run.

Levi Onwuzurike saw his playing time expand last year and made the most of it with plenty of pressures.

Dre’Mont Jones has regressed as a pass rusher compared to his days in Denver. He struggles against the run.

Jonathan Allen used to be a dominant defensive tackle, but those days are long gone. He had trouble staying healthy last season, but he’s still 30, and a bounce-back season is a possibility.

Grady Jarrett was once a fierce pass rusher who was dominant against the run, but both aspects of his game have diminished with age.

Dalvin Tomlinson was once an exceptional defensive tackle in all aspects. He has declined with age recently, but should still be able to put together one more solid year.

Bobby Brown is a stout run stuffer, but doesn’t provide anything as a pass rusher.

Jarran Reed is a quality interior pass rusher, but at 32, he doesn’t have much time left.
