Top five pass rushes in the NFL right now

#5 New Orleans Saints

At number five I went with a team that is mostly known for their stars on offense but actually have won games primarily with their defense. The New Orleans Saints have always been looked more at as an explosive team, but they have actually turned into a ground-and-pound offense with a suffocating defense for the most.

Their defensive front is up there with the very best due to their ability to stop the run but also get after the passer. They have “only” registered 24 sacks on the season, but they have held three teams to under ten points and made the Bears look like absolute garbage on offense until the last few minutes when the game was pretty much out of reach.

Since that opening schedule of Deshaun Watson, Jared Goff and Russell Wilson, the only quarterback to go above 250 yards against them actually was Mitchell Trubisky, who danced around 100 until about six minutes left in the game. Cam Jordan has been an All-Pro type player for a while now, Marcus Davenport is really coming along in his second year and Trey Hendrickson is a nice rotational piece with inside flexibility.

Next up: Minnesota Vikings, Cleveland Browns, and Los Angeles Rams
