Aaron Donald only DT to have a higher QB pressure rate than Fletcher Cox in 2018

Fletcher Cox has been dominant over the past three seasons and if not for the LA Rams Aaron Donald, the Eagles might have the reigning two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Cox is a monster, so the fact that Donald reigns supreme over him in so many categories, speaks volumes for how good the Rams star defensive tackle is.

According to Next Generation Stats, only Donald has provided a higher quarterback pressure rate for their team last season from the defensive tackle position.

Cox finished second in pressure rate for interior defenders at 11.4 (behind Donald at 14.1). Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs was third at 10.2.

Last season, while battling a foot injury, Cox earned his fourth All-Pro selection after amassing a career-high 95 pressures, 60 hurries, 34 quarterback hits, 10.5 sacks, 46 tackles, 30 stops, and 12 tackles for loss.
