Below you will find the top penalized player by each position for both offense and defense over the 2017-18 NFL season. Of course two CBs top the list, a position where essentially two or three big pass interference calls can juice the numbers. But then there are guys like Germain Ifedi of the infamous Seattle Seahawks offensive line, who put up 120 yards of penalties with almost entirely just false starts and holds (not that we’re bitter or anything).

Also notable, on the front seven side of things, how dominant that defense would be all on one team. Goes to show that taking some penalty risk with timing the snap might be worth it when it comes to overall production.
