The NFL season is quickly approaching, and many players are looking to make names for themselves this year. With that being said, the FOX Sports NFL Staff has been rolling out its position rankings.
We’ve already completed off-ball linebackers and cornerbacks, and now it’s time to move on to one of the most pivotal positions on defense — pass rushers. Our NFL staff listed its 10 best in order heading into the 2024 season. A first-place vote merited 10 points in our methodology and descended from there, down to a single point for 10th place. We then combined the scores to determine our rankings.
Of the eleven players that cracked the list, a whopping four of them are making an appearance for the first time, while the other six made it last season. Myles Garrett was voted the top edge rusher by a wide margin, receiving a first place vote from six of our seven writers. T.J. Watt also dominated the votes, finishing with 58 total points behind Garrett’s 69.
We’ll continue to roll out the best players at other positions between now and the start of the season. For now, here are the NFL’s best pass rushers.

Henry McKenna: “Myles is the best defensive end in football,” said Joel Bitonio, who has played guard and tackle for the Browns.
There’s no edge defender that you can set and forget quite like Garrett. He does everything you could possibly want. He’s as big, quick, fast and strong as you could possibly need. He’s sort of old school: a true defensive end. And therefore, he doesn’t quite get as much love as Micah Parsons, who is a more versatile and flashy toy in Dallas. Garrett has also never had more than 16 sacks in a season, which is tough when we think of the truly great pass-rushers as logging 20 or more. But if you don’t think he’s the best in the NFL, you’re probably not watching him close enough. Garrett is reliable, productive and generally unstoppable.
