The Philadelphia Eagles defense is one of the best in the NFL at pressuring the quarterback and despite slippage in sacks this season, the Birds still have two of the highest graded rushers in football on their roster.
Pro Football Focus revealed their top-25 pass rushers list through six weeks, and both Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham cracked the top-20.
13. Fletcher Cox, DI, Philadelphia Eagles
Consistently one of the top interior rushers in the NFL, it has been no different for Cox in 2019. He may not have recorded a sack yet, but with four hits and 24 hurries, his 28 total pressures rank third at the position through six weeks.19. Brandon Graham, EDGE, Philadelphia Eagles
Graham has maintained his position as one of the most productive edge defenders in the NFL, ranking 11th at the position with a 10.9 pass-rushing productivity rating. So far in 2019, he has registered four sacks, five hits and 27 hurries.
The top five reads like a who’s who of pass rushers, with Khalil Mack, Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald, Khalil Mack, J.J Watt, and Calais Campbell cracking the top-five.
