After being named to his second Pro Bowl in 2018, Short unfortunately made just two appearances last season due to a shoulder injury. His absence coincided with the Panthers' defensive performance dropping off significantly, but in spending this year's first two draft picks on the front seven, Carolina added new life to support Short this season. When at his best, Short ranks among the most disruptive interior defensive lineman league-wide, but he'll have to re-prove himself during his age-31 campaign. In three seasons prior to 2019, he averaged nearly 50 tackles and 5.5 sacks while playing 46 games.
