Summary

Watt also posted 60 quarterback pressures, a 16.3 percent pressure rate, 13 run stuffs (tackle for 1 or fewer yards on run play), 54 stops (tackle on a play that results in negative EPA for offense) and three turnovers caused by QB pressure. The free-agent acquisition has proven Cincinnati's investment wise, ranking second in the league in quarterback pressures with 79 and producing the NFL's best QB pressure percentage at 19.4 percent. He's caused five turnovers via pressure, tying him with four others for the most in the NFL, and he's added 28 stops (tackle on a play that results in negative EPA for offense) and 14 sacks to his résumé. Add in 17 hustle stops and a 6.2 percent sack rate -- the highest in the NFL (minimum 75 pass rushes) -- and you have a strong résumé that might be a little surprising to some. Diggs ranks fourth in targeted EPA at -23.3, third in ballhawk rate (meaning he's made a play on the ball -- interception or pass defensed -- on 24.4 percent of all targets), is allowing an opposing passer rating of 60.9 as the nearest defender, and is turning away expected completions at a rate of -7.2 percent. Jackson ranks second in the NFL in interceptions with eight and leads the league in passes defensed with 23. Add in nine passes defensed and an incredibly low passer rating allowed as the nearest defender (19.4), and you have quite a résumé for a safety most don't immediately think of when pondering the league's best at the position. who claims the No. 1 spot: Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers?With the regular season in the rearview, Nick Shook assembles his personal 2021 All-Pro Team and discusses why the Packers, Chiefs and Colts are deserving of multiple selections on offense.Of the 32 first-round picks from the 2019 NFL Draft, how many deserve to have the fifth-year option picked up?
