Summary

Payne is two years younger than teammate Jonathan Allen and 40 pounds heavier, yet he may be even more disruptive. He's had at least 50 tackles in all four seasons and chips in a respectable 4-5 sacks. What doesn't show up in the box score is how potent he is as an interior run defender. His ability to take up multiple blockers frees up the rest of the defensive line to wreak havoc.
