The Broncos’ top pair of outside linebackers is creating new levels of havoc through Denver’s first three games of the season.
Newly minted $106 million man Nik Bonitto leads the league both with 21 pressures and a 31.3% pressure rate (best among players with 10-plus pressures), according to Next Gen Stats.
Jonathon Cooper, meanwhile, pressured Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert nine times Sunday and is tied for seventh in the NFL with 15 for the season. After posting pressure rates of 11.6% and 13.6% the past two seasons, respectively, Cooper is off to a blistering start this season at 20.
