Buckner has been an excellent defensive tackle for most of his decade in the NFL--the 32-year-old has averaged almost 7.5 a season over his professional career and has been named to three Pro Bowls. Buckner has struggled with injuries the past two years (12 missed games the past two seasons), but in his last full campaign Buckner topped 80 tackles, had eight sacks and led all DT in fantasy points.
