T.J. Watt Ranked As Fourth Best EDGE Rusher, Heyward As Fourth Best DL According To Brandon Thorn

What does the reigning Defensive Player of the Year have to do to get some love these days?

Apparently, not only does OLB T.J. Watt need to tie the single-season sack record set by Michael Strahan back in 2001, he needs to blow it out of the water to be named the NFL’s best edge rusher.

Brandon Thorn of Trench Warfare recently published his top 40 defensive linemen entering the 2022 season which included 25 edge rushers and 15 interior defensive linemen. When it came time to break down the edge rushers, Watt’s name wasn’t at the #1 spot.
