Show us an NFL team without a deep edge rush rotation and we’ll show you a team that isn’t going far in the playoffs. Getting quick pressure on the quarterback is as important as ever in the modern NFL and teams that load up on edge rushers are far doing better than those that neglect this position.
As for the Seahawks, they have a pretty solid 1-2 combination with Uchenna Nwosu and Boye Mafe, both of whom made our rankings. However, they don’t have much of a third option and several teams have far better starting duos including the Cowboys, Steelers, Chargers, Giants, Browns and Texans. Let’s get to the list.
Here’s how we rank the top 40 in the league right now, including a few rookies coming in with the 2024 NFL draft class.
