Best DT recent history?

I was thinking their have been a lot of great DT come out this last decade. But if you could pick one now who would it be? Dexter Lawrence Grady jarret Christian Wilkins Jarvis Jenkins I can’t think of anyone else off the top of my head... we have been lucky recently with great talent!

Wilkins will be the popular choice (and for good reason), but Grady is playing the best football right now based on their NFL stats.

Hard choices right there, would rather have them all!
But Grady Jarrett would be hard to pass up. Was it against UGa that his should came out of joint, and he popped it back in place himself and came right back in the game?

Wilkins was a more dynamic player and personality, but Jarret is quietly the best we had in recent years.

Not suggesting he's #1, but DJ Reader warrants inclusion on any list of recent great DTs, IMO.

Totally agree, I don’t know how I forgot about him. Carlos Watkins as well

If you gave me one choice, I would take Dex. He's brings a unique skill set to build a defense around.

Based on talent - Lawrence
Based on leadership - Wilkins
Based on the best combination of both - Jarrett

Christian Wilkens. Three time 1st team All American, Outland trophy winner. In my opinion Christian is not only the greatest in Clemson history but also one of the greatest ever in College football.

Christian Wilkins would be my favorite as well, but...

he did not win the Outland Trophy. He won the Campbell Trophy.
