Myles Garrett has emerged as the top pass rusher in the NFL for the 2024 season, finishing first in pass-rush grade, pass-rush win rate, and total pressures. His impressive performance has solidified him as a dominant force in the league.
Trey Hendrickson of the Cincinnati Bengals had a standout Week 18 performance, allowing him to tie Garrett in total pressures with 83. This achievement places Hendrickson in an elite group of pass rushers.
The importance of a strong pass rush is underscored, as 15 of the top 16 teams in PFF pass-rushing grades last season had winning records. The New York Jets, although possessing a strong defense, struggled after the loss of quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
