There are many candidates for the coveted fifth spot in this year's 99 Club. We can eliminate many thanks to the ratings reveals we've gotten so far for RB's, QB's, CB's, FS's, and pass rushers.

That leaves one very noticeable category that includes a player who stands apart from the pack after an extremely successful 2019.
