New England Patriots linebacker Josh Uche has emerged as one of the more promising pass-rushers in the league, and he’s preparing to enter the final year on his contract.
It feels like only yesterday that he was being taken with the No. 60 overall pick of the 2020 NFL draft out of the University of Michigan. He was an intriguing pick at the time with all of the talent in the world to be one of the best EDGE defenders in the league.
After two quiet seasons as an NFL pass-rusher, Uche finally exploded and finished the 2022 campaign with 12 sacks, which was second behind Matthew Judon.
