We’re flipping sides of the ball and moving onto the defense in Silver and Black Pride’s AFC West position rankings, focusing on the edge defenders in the division. This is an interesting position group, as several pass-rushers emerged last season to challenge Las Vegas Raiders’ star Maxx Crosby for the top spot.
For example, the Denver Broncos had two edge rushers finish with double-digit sacks and in the top 15 for the metric, with Nik Bonitto getting to the quarterback 13.5 times (third-most) and Jonathon Cooper notching 10.5 sacks (tied for 12th).
