Karlos Dansby, Cardinals LB
Playing on the Arizona Cardinals' defense historically hasn't been the road to fame, fortune and success. But for second-year strong-side linebacker Karlos Dansby, a starter since the day he arrived as a second-round choice from Auburn in the 2004 draft, getting recognized hasn't been much of a problem. Especially when it comes to getting attention from opposing coordinators, who try to keep the action away from him. An all-rookie selection last season, when he started in 11 games and registered 68 tackles and five sacks, Dansby has set his sights higher in 2005. He furthered his case for Pro Bowl consideration Sunday with 11 tackles, one sack, a forced fumble, a recovery, and three special teams tackles in the Cardinals' comeback victory over the Tennessee Titans. Dansby is on pace for a 106-tackle and eight-sack season.
