The Jacksonville Jaguars ranked near the cellar of most defensive categories last year. They couldn’t stop the run and they weren’t able to generate pressure on a consistent basis. There are many reasons why the Jags’ defense underperformed in 2020. One of them was not having defensive end Josh Allen at full strength. Even though the former Wildcat missed half of the 2020 season, he still ranks among the best EDGE rushers in the league.
Ben Linsey of Pro Football Focus recently put together a list of the best EDGE defenders in the NFL and Allen ranked 30th.
