Today, I wanted to get back to my studies on the Pittsburgh Steelers free agent additions this offseason, now that the busy NFL draft process has completed. So, I will continue the series by looking at data of linebacker Patrick Queen last season as a pass rusher, including 2023 Steelers as well for comparative context, which follows up my 2023 coverage article and run defense study on him. Today, I will use data from Pro Football Focus (PFF).
Let’s get right to it, starting with 2023 pass snaps and pass rush wins versus blocking to get a gauge of the position comparatively:
A picture speaks a thousand words, seeing Queen’s substantial volume in 2023 with a league high 767 pass snaps out of the 85 qualifying linebackers.
