14. There is risk involved here. The four-year extension he signed with the team this offseason was well earned. Clark struggled to beat his man a lot this past season. Jordan is 32, so some of this ranking is projecting that he could be on the back nine of his career now. Since 2014, Graham ranks tied for 16th at the position in total sacks, but only Khalil Mack, Cameron Jordan and Von Miller have recorded more pressures than Graham has (445). They probably arent elite pass rushers right now, but theyll make you work all game and nobody is better at defending the run. Collectively, Watt has missed roughly 3.5 games this year because of injuries and has played through his bumps and bruises after missing ample practice time this year. The double-team gauntlet is yet to slow down Nick Bosa of the San Francisco 49ers. Garrett has NEVER had that happen for him. His play over the first three years of his career should give New Orleans confidence that he is more than capable of stepping back into a starting role, though. He won in every way an edge rusher can getting the edge with speed, countering inside, excellent hand usage, converting speed to power while bullrushing. Carlos Dunlap (Sea) Dunlap re-signed with Seattle on a two-year deal worth $16.6 million with $8.5 million guaranteed. The sack numbers have been down a little bit the past two years, but it's largely due to extra attention from opposing offenses. 50 Georgia CB Eric Stokes. Injury robbed us of a decent chunk of Chase Youngs second season, but even before that point, he wasnt building on his excellent rookie season, with lower PFF grades and pressure rates. Cleveland will now use him as a DE bookend with Myles Garrett. A lot was scheme and their blitz rate. Garrett and Clowney are. He can win inside, outside and with power, which makes him impossible to predict pre-snap. Similarly, Carl Lawson was a big free agent acquisition of the Jets a year ago but ruptured his Achilles before he could take the field. As for the list well see on Shaq. When healthy, Ngakoue has the potential to supply close to double-digit sacks. He ranks in the 98th percentile in pass-rushing grade, pass-rush grade on true pass sets and pass-rush grade without play action. I still think hes developing physically and technically as a player, but I expect him to move into tier 2 by next offseason. Jared Fogel Subway was famous as the Subway guy, but is now INfamous for being a pedophile. Dude just euro stepping past tackles. Barrett graded at 74.0 or higher in each of his first four seasons with Denver, but he was limited to a rotational role in a group that had talented players ahead of him on the depth chart. Would love your thoughts, please comment. Karlaftis is a powerful and relentless edge-rusher who should make an immediate impact. ALL the latest 49ers news straight to your inbox! Hes not as pro-ready as a pass rusher as those guys were coming out of college. There are simply no real weaknesses in his game. When that happens basically somebody can run in unblocked. He still put up double digit sack numbers (10.5) to go with 41 tackles, 26 quarterback hits, and six forced fumbles (the . He ended each of the 2019 and 2020 seasons with PFF grades of at least 82.0, continuing his strong play both against the run and pass from his time with the Patriots. I want to see AB dust off the Sashi playbook and trade back to get a million mid rounders. His high double-team rate and Floyds low number is what we call the Aaron Donald effect.. He has played a full 16-game season just once (2017) in his seven NFL seasons. Of the 5.0 sacks Bosa has snatched, hes gripped and tussled just one who is a natural pocket passer: Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions in Week 1. Last year, he set career highs in total tackles (47), solos (28), assists (19), and sacks (8.5).

He put up an 84.5 pass-rushing grade over 10 points higher than his previous career high and 88 quarterback pressures in 2019. Unlike other positions, this will leave off a lot of quality edge defenders, but such is the depth in todays league. What the chart says, is how AQM ranks among edge rushers that received similar snap shares. Last week against the Arizona Cardinals, Bosa was one of two Niners defenders who accomplished the following against Kyler Murray: Pressure him twice and get a sack of him. I began with quarterbacks,wide receivers, and tight ends. Facing two linemen is nothing new for the 6-foot-4, 266-pounder out of Ohio State. His 45 cleanup pressures since 2018 are the most in the league. Ted Bundy is infamous. Micah Parsons was a real Defensive Player of the Year candidate last season as a rookie thanks in large part to his pass-rushing prowess. January 5, 2021. Parsons is a half-sack out of the league lead with eight. Remarkably, the two-time. The last big pass rusher the Jets signed in free agency was Calvin Pace in 2008 when he signed a six-year, $42 million contract. He did sit out the season finale when he was placed on the Covid-19 list. He has been a first-team All-Pro just once, but there was a stretch of multiple years where he had a good claim to be the best edge defender in the game. Rashan Gary finally realized his immense potential last season, earning an 89.3 overall PFF grade, which was good enough to rank inside the top five at the position. Presumably, this number went down with Watt's . 1 overall pick across from him on the defensive line in Cleveland, as well. Sorry, Jaelan Phillips. Trey Hendrickson, Bengals It may not work, it absolutely could blow up in Cleveland's face, but on a one year deal where Garrett will have a lot more freedom and Clowney will be able to allow LB's like Takitaki to do what they do, oh shit. Every tackle in the league would list Mack as one of their toughest one-on-one assignments. Age on September 1, 2021: 26.7; Free agent EDGE ranking: 9th of 43; Jet X breakdown; Hendrickson ranked 21st among edge rushers with 49 pressures despite ranking 44th with 369 pass-rush snaps. Fantasy Points: Hard to say this is a risky proposition for the reigning Super Bowl champions. Jason Pierre-Paul, Bucs Myles Garrett, Browns ANALYST. Fixed now. His 77.0 pass-rushing grade last season was nearly 15 points higher than his previous career high, and his 49 quarterback pressures were 20 more than he had ever recorded previously. 21. Yannick Ngakoue (LV) Ngakoue joins the Raiders on a two-year $26 million deal with $22 million guaranteed. Even with the trench version of double coverage placed on him, the third-year defensive end and 23-year-old is on pace to collect 17.0 sacks, which would give him both a career-high and reward him with his first season of surpassing the double-digit sack plateau. Jerry Hughes is virtually a guaranteed 50 pressures to any defense hes on, even at this age. Once he is back to full strength, he will supply the Titans with much needed pressure off the edge with bookend edge rusher Harold Landry. The group has a high ceiling, and if they can rush the passer at a high level, the . PFF's exclusive metrics provide matchup previews, position rankings, grades, and snap counts. Theres little reason to expect he wont put up impressive numbers again in 2021. Looking at all 2022 draft-hopefuls who had at least 100 pass rush snaps last season, the top ten edge rushers rank as follows, according to Pro Football Focus. 1 anymore, its still impossible to remove him from the elite tier.

NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah updated his ranking of the top 50 prospects in the 2021 NFL Draft for the final time before the start of the draft. Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt (90) reacts after sacking Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley (2) during the first quarter against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Jerry Hughes, Bills Therein resides the issue. He has 34.5 total sacks in five career seasons. Cam Jordan, Saints Hes a well-rounded player who has grown technically in his pass rush game by leaps and bounds. Chandler Jones' run defense is falling off, but his past two predominantly healthy years featured pass-rushing grades of at least 87.7 and he recorded double-digit sacks in each. He recorded at least 40 pressures in each of his final four seasons with the team, including a career-high 77.7 PFF grade in 2019. pic.twitter . They had an absolutely stacked DL and OLB group, and love to blitz. The sack numbers have been down a little bit the past two years, but its largely due to extra attention from opposing offenses. Now they have to account for Clowney as well. Stacked d-line + scheme. Mack has recorded an overall grade above 85.0 in each of his first seven NFL seasons. Improved handling of unusual pocket geometries: In an effort to capture when a rusher is able to collapse a pocket, we analyzed pocket geometry throughout each pass play. Was pretty easy to mitigate his impact in the playoff game. J.J. Watt 2. Generated 13 quarterback pressures against Ohio State in 2021 (25.5% pressure rate). Cracking the top 20 all-time sack list is on the agenda for both players. 25. It started with a dominant 2019 season in which Smith posted a career-high 89.7 overall grade and led the NFL in pressures with 93. Its reasonable to expect Hughes to lose a step here soon, as he will enter next season at 33 years old, but he has shown little sign of decline of late in Buffalo. His pressure rate of 13.3% placed him at the 88th percentile among qualifiers at the position. At 32 (Miller) and 31 (Jones) years old, will the veterans be able to bounce back? Barrett has taken full advantage of the increased opportunity that came with his move to Tampa Bay. Like Dupree, Floyd is another player who took advantage of an advantageous pass-rushing environment in 2020. PewterReport.com prides itself on being the most complete, comprehensive news source covering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and delivering inside scoop on the team found nowhere else. Over the past three seasons, Hughes' 19.8% pass-rush win rate ranks fifth among qualifiers at the position. When Bud Dupree was a free agent a big talking point was the 60% of his sacks came unblocked or at best was being chipped. Few NFL arguments are as explosive as the one surrounding who the better edge rusher is: T.J. Watt or Myles Garrett. Fantasy Points: The Bengals traded Carlos Dunlap away last year and let Carl Lawson leave via free agency this offseason. Miller may be a declining force, but he is declining from a position of being the best edge rusher of his generation, so he has plenty of room to slip and still be a significant problem for opposing offenses. TEAM SEASON GP RUSH YDS ATT YPC RUSH YDS/G RUSH TD REC YDS REC TRG AVG REC YDS/G REC TD; Chicago Bears: 2021: 54: 1,450: 369: 3.9: 26.9: 11: 504: 73: 91: 6.9: 9.3: 1: Arizona Cardinals: 2021: 52: Hendricksons 2020 season with the Saints was an outlier given the prior three seasons in his career. Lawson could become the most impactful edge rusher that the Jets have had on defense in the past decade. You can double both, but then you need an extra blocker, and need to account for Richardson/Jackson/Elliot/Billings/[DT to be drafted]. Yannick Ngakoue, Raiders For a 49ers team that leads the NFL in scoring defense, total defense, rushing defense, and pass TD-INT ratio allowed, it all starts up front. His 79.4 pass-rushing grade in 2020 was a top-15 grade at the position. However, 2019 was the first season that Hunter made a big leap as a pass-rusher. At first, we thought this signjing would mean the end of Carlos Dunlap as a Seahawk, especially after Seattle re-signed Benson Mayowa. Thank you for clearing that up Too Familiar. Chubb, Sweat and Okwara are all still developing, with the last two taking a big leap last season. Fantasy Points: In a surprising move, the Seahawks re-signed Dunlap and released Jarran Reed. (Via @PFF_Neil) pic.twitter.com/bR5Ajcra5o, PFF SF 49ers (@PFF_49ers) January 3, 2020. Arizona is taking a huge risk in the hopes that Watt can play back-to-back 16 game seasons, which he hasnt done since 2014-15. Now, Young is going to be a top five edge defender someday. John Franklin-Meyers may never generate a lot of sacks, but he notched 50 or more pressures in each of the past two seasons and his PFF grade has improved each year of his career. Bosa is healthier now compared to 2020 and hes doing damage regardless if two 300-plus pound bodies or a LT/TE combo are locked in on him. This year, he hasn't been as. Specifically, it all starts with Bosa, who is having. His PFF run-defense grade was just 40.4 last season. Its important to remember that rankings like this are largely fluid year-to-year, especially when you get outside the first eight edge defenders. But Young is already an elite run defender and he plays with a temperament beyond his years. Montez Sweat has been an excellent run defender in the NFL and flashed his pass-rush potential, but he needs to put it together more consistently. Ive seen too many rankings put him in the top 5-10 range already. Aiden Hutchinson. Double team - ( New Window ) Nick Bosa absolutely wrecking shop. 1. Highest Playoff Passer Rating In NFL History. With the two edge players. Xavien Howard was the best cornerback in football in 2020. I guess in terms of recent production you could put few in front of Mack but your comment that any DE would say Mack is hardest one on one says to me at least hes still the best. The evaluation process wouldnt be clean. Since 2020, Hendrickson ranks in the league's top three with 27.5 sacks (third), 52 QB hits (third), 136 pressures (tied for third) and a pressure rate of 18.6 percent (first), per Next Gen Stats. His starting role with the Buccaneers has resulted in 157 total pressures since 2019, more than any other edge defender in the NFL. 2. Who takes the top spot, Myles Garrett or T.J. Watt? Nick Bosa gets by Goedert and causes major disruption#Eagles #FlyEaglesFly pic.twitter.com/KGVUFfoZRm, Brodes Media (@BrodesMedia) September 19, 2021. 8. It didnt take long for Bosa to establish himself as one of the leagues top pass-rushers. Double team rate at Edge (x) by pass rush win rate at Edge (y) for the 2022 NFL season. Garrett's pass-rush win rate of 26.3% last season ranked third among edge rushers despite facing 104 double teams. By definition, infamy = being famous for something BAD. Hendrickson consistently generates pressure and has been good at converting those to sacks. Nick Bosa, 49ers And only Nolan Smith of Georgia (19.3) and UAB sleeper Alex Wright (18.7) had a better overall run disruption rate than . He earned pass-rushing grades of 90.0 or higher in each of his final two seasons at FAU. Fantasy Points: The addition of Watt to the Cardinal defense is very intriguing. Joey Bosa 3. Danielle Hunter, Vikings. The game has rarely seen so many productive and impactful edge rushers playing at the same time. Hell look to build on that in his return from a 2020 season lost to injury. T.J. Watt, Steelers Even when he did play, he was a defensive end backup to Chase Young and Montez Sweat. The most double teamed EDGE in the entire NFL this season? Attaochu has not played a full 16 game season since coming into the league in 2014. Ferrell improved his overall grade from 62.3 to 76.1 to go along with a 3.5 percentage point jump to his pressure rate in the 11 games he appeared in. Still, the idea of teaming him up with Chandler Jones has to have defensive coordinator Vance Joseph drooling over the possibilities in 2021. Leonard Floyd experienced that firsthand this season in his first year with the Rams. Bud Dupree, Titans A clear passing situation where Clowney and McKinnley bookend the DL with Myles lining up inside could be fun to watch. I dont know if that happens in 2021. An early-season injury coupled with a breakout year from Trey Hendrickson in 2020 led to Davenport taking a backseat on the Saints defensive line. Reddick posted 12.5 sacks while adding 61 total tackles in eleven starts last year. But really that makes up a small percentage of his rushes and he's still obviously mostly getting doubled and sometimes tripled lol. Clowney never posted 44 to 52 total tackles in his last three seasons with Houston, but has just 44 total tackles in the last two seasons combined. Few edge defenders improved more from 2019 to 2020 than Sweat did in his second year in the NFL. Myles has had some success, including his first career sack, when lining up inside. Watt can still be very effective when healthy, but that becomes a larger caveat with each passing season. After he recorded double-digit sacks in 2020 and an 86.9 PFF pass-rushing grade, his grade slipped to 73.1 and he had six fewer pressures to his name despite more than 50 extra pass-rushing opportunities. How he bounces back from the injury will determine if he can contend for EDGE1 next season. Edge defender might not have the same depth at the top that it had 2-3 years ago, but theres still a lot of quality pass rushers across the league. He has the potential to be a high-end pass-rusher, with PFF pass-rushing grades above 80.0 in two of the past three years, but an Achilles injury is a major red flag for a player whose position relies on explosiveness. Bosas tape was awe-inspiring in 2019. Double team rate as an edge (x) by pass rush win rate as an edge (y) for the 2020 regular season. PFFs wins above replacement metric, PFF WAR, pegged Mack as the leagues most valuable edge rusher in 2020, and that dominance extends back to his rookie season in 2014. Davenport started 13 games back in 2019 and came away from that season with an impressive 84.1 overall grade. And. Hughes is still an effective edge rusher. Hes also getting better at targeting the football, forcing four fumbles last year. 2021 1. If anyone in this class is set to have a long career in the NFL, my pick would be Kolar.
