New England Patriots defensive end Keion White is making an impact among edge defenders this year, and he has the numbers to back it up.
Per Pro Football Focus, he has a 91.0 pass rush grade, which is tied for third amongst all edge rushers in the NFL. He has four sacks through the first three games of the season, which is tied for second, and his 21.7 percent win rate is ranked seventh in the league.
White has done a tremendous job of filling in the pass-rushing void left by former Patriots’ defender Matthew Judon, who was traded to the Atlanta Falcons back in August. Along with being a sack monster, White has at least five tackles in his last two games, including a six-tackle effort against the New York Jets last Thursday.

Since the start of organized team activities, White has been praised as a potential breakout candidate for the Patriots. Now, that breakout is on full display for the NFL world to witness this season.
