Interesting. Maybe the players value more offense over defense. But I agree with most of you on here. I don't think he should be ranked higher than Telvin Smith or Yannick Ngakoue but it's still a good sign of respect the players have for him already.

He did have a good season despite nagging injuries, missing a few games, etc. Can't forget this guy had the fastest play from scrimmage at one point or still holds it from last year and then within a week or two later he damn near breaks or ties that MPH speed on the football field. Can't forget the waving of Mitchell to bring it on too in Pittsburgh.

I think he also faced the most 8 man fronts all year long last year. I think it was in the high 50's or 60's percentage wise.
