Interesting new stats for pass rush and blocking using next gen metrics.

Trent ranks 5th

More surprisingly and encouraging Ryan Kerrigan is ranked 2nd!

I love it. Great metric.

I think one thing it misses is how quickly a guy wins. They use the cutoff of 2.5 seconds to determine whether a block or a pass rush was successful. But of course if a rusher wins at 1.5 seconds instead of at 2.4 seconds, that’s more impactful. But still, I think this is a better way to view it than counting the Time in Pocket which may be short on purpose because the QB just gets rid of the ball super quickly (Brady).
