NFL Offseason - Merlin Olsen and Deacon Jones. Alan Page and Carl Eller. Leonard Marshall and Lawrence Taylor. Jerome Brown and Reggie White. Haloti Ngata and Terrell Suggs. Every decade in the NFL seems to have a dominant defensive lineman/edge rusher pairing, and now it's time to add Pittsburgh's pair of Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt to that list. With 36 defeats apiece, the Steelers' set tied for the top spot as the NFL's most disruptive defenders of 2021.
We have lots of statistics to measure quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and even kickers, but our numbers for individual defensive players are a lot more limited.
