Quarterback is the most important position on a football field, but a great pass rush is the ultimate equalizer. Pressure disrupts timing, rhythm and accuracy, something only elite quarterbacks can consistently overcome.
Last season, 15 of the top 16 NFL teams in PFF pass-rushing grade obtained a winning record. The New York Jets (7-10) certainly had a playoff-caliber defense, but their season was derailed after losing quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the opener.
Each week after every NFL game is graded and reviewed, PFF will check in on the top pass-rushers of the 2024 season. One sack, hit or pressure can dramatically alter a player's PFF grades when the sample size is small, but as snap counts rise, the grades will stabilize and we'll get a clearer picture of the league's best pass-rushers.
Here are the top 32 pass-rushers for the 2024 season after Week 5. For more grades and statistics on the league's best pass-rushers, check out PFF Premium Stats.
