recent post on Twitter/X by everyone’s favorite source of advanced metrics has the NFL community talking.
Pro Football Focus shared a graphic of four EDGE duos asking which duo will be the best in the upcoming 2024 season.
The graphic features pass rushers TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith from Pittsburgh, Myles Garrett and Za’Darius Smith from Cleveland, Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence from Dallas, and Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. from Houston.
These are all talented players set on getting to the quarterback and fans can debate all day on Twitter/X about which duo is the best.
If only there were a system in place to grade players and their individual performances for the 2023 season so we could easily compare them without bias.
must be our lucky day because such a system does exist and it was created by the same account that posted the graphic in the first place.
Let’s take a look at the 2023 season PFF grades for each duo in the graphic and determine which EDGE duo is likely to be labeled the best for 2024.
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ top EDGE duo is TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith.
