What separates the NFL’s best defensive tackles from the rest?
This offseason, I’ve embarked on a quest to answer that question at several positions. For this study, I used Pro Football Focus’ (PFF) data from the last three seasons (2022 to 2024) to rank every player using a composite grading system.
Today, we begin with the defensive tackle position.
The New York Jets have a star in Quinnen Williams. Since being drafted third overall in 2019, Williams has solidified himself as one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL.
The Jets rewarded him for his efforts with a four-year, $96 million contract in 2023.
