13.  Shaq Lawson

Shaq Lawson was named a first-team All-American in 2015.

Lawson finished fourth in school history for sacks in a single season with 12.5. Lawson was another defensive end that took a year or two to develop.

But, when he did, he exploded.

During his senior season, Lawson was one of the best defensive ends in the nation and was a huge leader on that defense.

That led to him being drafted in the first-round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.
