NFC Exec on Yannick Ngakoue: 'Designated Pass-Rusher, Doesn't Do Much Else'

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue has 37.5 sacks in four years in the NFL, but some see him as one-dimensional.

The 25-year-old didn't crack the top 10 of best pass-rushers in the league in a vote by team personnel, although he did get an honorable mention, per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. One source provided insight into what kept him further down the list.

"He's a DPR: Designated Pass-Rusher," an NFC executive said. "Doesn't do much else."

The Jaguars used their franchise tag on Ngakoue this offseason, but he's still hoping for a trade and doesn't plan to sign the tag, as Fowler reported earlier in July.
